Thing #6 - iTouch and iPod

1. Download some educational apps to an iTouch (or find some good visual directions on how to download apps to an iTouch).

Apps are so easy to find and download. My 7-year-old nephew loaded Waterslide onto my iPhone the other day. It's a fun game.

App reviews:

http://www.iear.org/ - i Education Apps Review. More apps reviews than you will ever get thru.
iPad apps for science (somework for the iTouch or iPhone too) - http://www.iear.org/iear/2010/7/26/ipads-in-science-by-al-gonzalez.html

I love the lists of apps and references in this post. Lots to explore and download.

2. Create a list of ways to use the iTouch in the Library by multiple students (that is different than an iTouch being assigned to students).

I am having a hard time thinking about this on my own. Have to go and read others posts.
I'm back - Get in Gear says to use the iTouch as a listening station or as a roving way to interview people for podcasts, projects, etc.
Several people suggest using the iTouch for research for a couple of students together. That seems good.
Playing educational games against each other to get the highest/fastest scores also works.


What is the best way to keep up with the new apps that show up daily????
