4 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Foreword Educators all over the world are examining the methods and tools required to develop the 21st century skills our students need to succeed in their schools, workplaces, and civic lives. One device many educators are already using in their classrooms with great results is the iPod. Teachers are using iPod to support second language learners, address the needs of diverse learners, motivate struggling readers, as well as to support their own professional development. And, because the iPod is mobile, teachers and students can learn where and when they want. iPod makes it possible to deliver large quantities of content—such as comprehensible language—to students in an efficient and convenient manner. Today, one out of every five K-12 students in the United States comes from a home in which a language other than English is spoken. This situation presents additional challenges for educators. With iPod and iTunes, teachers can now enhance audio with pictures and video, making important visual connections to the second language being learned. Teachers and students can use the iLife suite of digital authoring applications included on every Mac, such as iMovie and GarageBand, to create their own iPod content. iPod and iLife are a great way for educators to create, organize, and distribute content, all of which adds new and exciting dimensions to learning. And iTunes provides an easy way to store, organize, and purchase content for the iPod. The seamless integration of iPod and iTunes makes it easy for teachers to provide textual, auditory, and visual resources to reach all types of learners, particularly those students who need extra assistance. Using iPod in the classroom can also assist in helping students master content standards. For example, iPod can help students achieve oral reading fluency—an important bridge between word decoding and reading comprehension. Capturing the attention of today’s students can be challenging, and using iPod with audiobooks is yet another way to get students engaged in learning. Audiobooks motivate and create interest in the physical texts themselves. Audiobooks can be readily used with iPod—using them in this way is like having a reader with the student at all times. And with the iPod touch—with its built-in Wi-Fi capability and Safari web browser— students can access the Internet, take notes, keep track of their calendars, communicate via email, blog, and even access a scientific calculator. They can also access hundreds of educational applications in the iTunes App Store. Many schools are discovering the power of giving all students access to an iPod touch and are seeing how having mobile devices literally at students’ fingertips transforms teaching and learning.
5 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning What about the many administrative functions you must perform and keep track of as an educator? iPod touch is also a wonderful device to help you to organize and manage routine tasks. You can keep your calendar, contacts, and notes on an iPod touch as well as record voice memos to yourself or audio assessments of your students. Need to research something or find directions to your next meeting? iPod touch allows you to quickly access the Internet from a Wi-Fi connection. Depending on your student information system, you can even take attendance and complete your grades right from your iPod touch! This Getting Started guide is designed to help you create an environment where learning really is anywhere, anytime. You’ll learn the basics of iPod touch and iTunes so that you’ll be familiar with the operation and interface. Whether for one user or an entire class, you’ll also discover how to effectively set up, maintain, and manage iPod touch in the classroom. You’ll even explore several curriculum ideas for using iPod touch as a part of digital projects in your classroom. Because Apple products have a similar, easy interface, it won’t take you long to begin using these innovative tools with your students. The power to effectively teach and learn is in the hands of you and your students, both literally and figuratively, when you use Apple’s iPod touch and iTunes in your classroom!

6 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Overview About iPod touch and iTunes This section introduces you to both iPod touch and iTunes, the free application you use to sync content on your iPod touch. For information about the basics of using iPod touch, see “Appendix: iPod touch 101” later in this guide. iPod touch at a Glance iPod touch is an easy-to-use mobile device with many uses. It can be used to store and play audio and video, view images, and access the Internet. You and students can use the productivity applications that come with iPod touch to send and receive email, take notes, use a scientific calculator, keep calendars and contact files, access Google Maps, and much more. And by choosing from hundreds of education applications available for download from the Apple App Store, teaching and learning is expanded even more. Students can view the stars, learn a language, review math facts, and learn about history. With iPod touch, you can copy and paste from application to application, such as text from a webpage to a note. iPod can also be connected to a TV or projection device (with an added AV cable) to display slide presentations and other files. And, with the addition of earphones with a built-in microphone or a third-party microphone (sold separately), iPod touch can be used to record any kind of audio file—from class lectures to poetry readings. (For more information, see “Using iPod touch for Voice Recording” and “Accessorizing iPod touch” later in this guide.) Loading files, applications, photos, songs, and video content onto an iPod touch is simple. The iPod dock connector on the bottom of the iPod touch lets you connect, sync (copy files onto the iPod), and recharge quickly using the included USB cable. With a Wi-Fi connection, you can also download media and apps directly to iPod touch. This guide focuses on iPod touch and its capabilities. There are several models of iPod, each of which provides a versatile tool for the classroom environment: • iPod touch: Combines access to the Internet and email, productivity and educational applications, and audio, video, and photos. iPod touch includes VoiceOver for hearing navigation information aloud and can also be used with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (see “Nike + iPod Sport Kit” later in this guide). iPod touch models from Fall 2009 with 32GB or more also include Voice Control for controlling music playback with voice commands. Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic, which can be used for Voice Control and the Voice Memos app, are included with the new 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models and sold separately for the 8GB model. • iPod classic: Provides access to audio, video, photos, and more, with a very large amount of storage capacity. • iPod nano: Compact-sized with access to audio, video, and photos; includes VoiceOver for hearing navigation information aloud. iPod nano can also be used with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. • iPod shuffle: Small-sized iPod that offers access to audio files and also includes VoiceOver for hearing items read aloud.
7 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning For detailed information about the specifications of each iPod model, including hard drive size, battery duration, and included accessories, visit www.apple.com/itunes. To learn more, see “Resources” later in this guide for information about tutorials, a guided tour of iPod touch, and the iPod touch User Manual. iTunes at a Glance iTunes is an application for organizing and playing digital audio and video content. It has an incredibly easy-to-use interface for managing the content on iPod. iPod touch and iTunes work seamlessly together to synchronize music, video, and other files available on a computer with iPod touch. This can be set up to happen automatically so that when an iPod touch is connected to a computer, the iTunes library is automatically synced to the iPod touch. iTunes is also used to connect to the iTunes Store for downloading free academic content from iTunes U and other sources, applications from the App Store, podcasts, music from around the world, audiobooks, full-length movies and TV shows, speeches, and more. With Apple TV, the contents of an iTunes library, such as movies and TV shows, can be viewed on a classroom’s TV. iTunes is compatible with both Mac and PC and comes pre-installed on every Mac computer. It is available as a free download at www.apple.com/itunes/download . Adding content to your iTunes library is as easy as downloading it from the iTunes Store or importing a CD. The iTunes library can hold a collection of digital audio and video files, such as music from a CD, video files downloaded from iTunes U, and audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store. As an iTunes collection grows, you can maintain multiple libraries for classroom use. When you connect an iPod touch to your computer, an icon for it appears in the iTunes sidebar. When you click this icon, iTunes displays the contents of the iPod touch and you can also define settings for how you want to use the device. For more information about these settings, see “Adding Content to iPod touch Using iTunes” later in this guide. Using iTunes, you can organize songs and other items into lists called playlists. Files are not duplicated each time you place them in a playlist. They are simply aliases, or pointers, to the actual files in your iTunes library. The sidebar displays all of the playlists in the iTunes library. You can create your own playlists to organize the content in iTunes in the best way for you and your students, such as a playlist for a specific student project or for a particular class. For example, if the class is studying the American Civil War period, you could create one playlist with songs from that time period and with video clips available from iTunes U. You can also create Smart Playlists that automatically update according to criteria you set—for example, podcasts you’ve added in the last month. From the iTunes window, you go to the iTunes Store by clicking iTunes Store in the sidebar when you are connected to the Internet. As you download free or purchased items, iTunes automatically adds the titles to your library. With the Parental Controls feature of Mac OS X, you can choose to restrict students’ access to the iTunes Store or to explicit content from the iTunes Store. (You can allow access to iTunes U content even if access to the iTunes Store is restricted.) See “Restricting Access with Parental Controls” later in this guide for more information. For links to more detailed information and tutorials about iTunes, see “Resources” later in this guide.
8 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Why iPod touch and iTunes for Education? Innovative educators are using iPod touch and iTunes as powerful educational tools to meet students’ academic needs and to help them achieve 21st century literacy. With the pocket-sized iPod touch, students have a tool that’s custom-suited to the tasks they need to handle every day. Addressing students with special needs, such as visual and auditory impairments, is also made easier with the use of iPod touch and iTunes. • iPod touch is a mobile learning tool—allowing anywhere, anytime access to applications, video, audio, photos, and to the Internet and email via a wireless network. Its mobility also means that students can readily share their work with classmates and family members. • Because the iPod touch offers mobility, it “time shifts” education, allowing the learner to access content at the most convenient time, and as many times as necessary. • iPod touch and iTunes are tools for delivering differentiated curriculum to learners at teachable moments at different times and locations. This is especially important for students performing below grade level because it gives educators a way to accelerate and extend the students’ learning time beyond the school day. • Teachers can provide background information for students to access on an iPod touch outside of class, which allows classroom time to be focused on discussions and deeper exploration of content. • Whatever the subject, teachers and students will find invaluable resources to support learning from the thousands of educational applications available through the iTunes App Store for iPod touch. And, with a wireless network, all of the Internet is readily available as well. • iPod touch is a valuable aid for student collaboration on projects—for communicating with other students, teachers, and outside experts by email; tracking due dates with the calendar; taking notes; performing Internet research; and more. • iPod touch gives educators a way to easily harness the power of the spoken word for students, both on its own and combined with videos, photos, and other images. • iPod touch and iTunes are a perfect way to present interdisciplinary lessons that link music, art, and literature and to enrich lessons. • Another big plus is the motivation factor of iPod touch and iTunes. They meet the mobile and media-rich learning styles of today’s students and allow them to learn as they live—on the go. Teachers are using iPod to help students learn a foreign language, become better readers, reinforce math and science concepts, and support the diverse needs of today’s learners. The opportunities are endless.
9 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Finding and Using Education Content for iPod touch iPod touch and iTunes provide a great way for you and your students to access valuable educational resources. This may be content from existing sources, such as educational applications, podcasts, audiobooks, movies, music CDs, audio files of speeches, or content students create themselves, such as podcasts, movies, photos, or slide presentations. All of these types of files can be synced to iPod touch for students, their families, and others to share. This section describes different types of education content and applications that are available for use with iPod touch. The next chapter describes how you can use the tools that come with a Mac and iPod touch itself to produce your own content to use with iPod touch. Finding Content on iTunes U One great resource from the iTunes Store is the comprehensive collection of podcasted lectures, lab demonstrations, language lessons, movies, panel discussions, and more available from iTunes U. There are now over 150,000 free audio and video files available to anyone in the world, including K–12 teachers and students. iTunes U content comes from over 130 colleges and universities, state departments of education, and other education content providers, is provided for free, and includes content for both Higher Education and K-12 audiences. For example, you can view and listen to speeches, interviews, technology tutorials, science movies, news reports, art lessons, and professional development resources of interest to a broad range of audiences. The Beyond Campus section of iTunes U includes professionally-created content from providers such as PBS, NPR, and American Public Media, as well as from museums, such as the Smithsonian, The New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum, and many more. You can download and play iTunes U content on a computer or transfer it to iPod touch.
10 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning To locate and download resources in iTunes U: Open iTunes, then click iTunes Store (below Store in the sidebar). 1 Click iTunes U at the top of the iTunes window. (If you do not see iTunes U at the top 2 of the window, enlarge the window by dragging the resize control in the bottom-right corner of the window.) You can view top downloads, browse content by category, or access content from a specific education institution or Beyond Campus provider. To search for iTunes U items on a certain topic, enter text in the search field in the 3 upper right of the iTunes window. The iTunes Store divides the results into categories. Click iTunes U under Filter By Media Type at the left of the window to see just the iTunes U items from the search. (If you have restricted students from using the iTunes Store in Parental Controls, you can still allow them access to search and download items from iTunes U. See “Restricting Access with Parental Controls” later in this guide for more information.) Click an iTunes U title at the top of the window to view more information about it and 4 to see a list of available audio and video tracks. Double-click an item in the list to view a 30-second preview. Click Get to download the track or tracks you want. If the content is ongoing, you can 5 then subscribe to automatically download future tracks for an iTunes U title. Often transcripts of the audio are available too. Once downloaded, you can connect an iPod touch to your Mac to sync the new files to the iPod touch. You and your students can view and listen to the content at any time. See “Resources” later in this guide for links to tutorials and a guided tour about iTunes U.
