11 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Adding Applications from the Apple App Store Many applications, such as Calculator and Safari, come with iPod touch, as described in “Browsing the Internet with Safari” and “Using the Applications Included with iPod touch,” later in this guide. You can further enhance teaching and learning by downloading additional applications from the App Store. You can choose from an amazing collection of applications, many of which are available free of charge and are designed specifically for education. Examples of applications that can be downloaded include: • Declaration—a study aid for learning the fundamentals of the U.S. government that includes the full text of the Declaration of Independence, images of the original document, and biographies of the signers http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/ viewSoftware?id=289320718&mt=8 • Classics—a set of classics of English literature, including Homer’s Iliad and H.G. Wells’ Time Machine http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/ viewSoftware?id=294773236&mt=8 • Graphing Calculator—allows students to generate images of complex equations for maximum understanding and retention http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/ viewSoftware?id=289940142&mt=8 • Periodic—a rich, interactive presentation of the Periodic Table of Elements http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/ viewSoftware?id=292388853&mt=8 You can locate and download the applications from the App Store in iTunes and then sync them to iPod touch or can download them directly to iPod touch when connected to the Internet via a wireless network. You can search for applications by category or by name. You need an iTunes Store account to download applications from the App Store, including free items. You can set up this account by clicking Account in the iTunes window. You do not need to enter credit card information to open an account. (For more information, go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534.) Once an application has been synced to iPod touch or installed directly, you can open it by tapping its icon. Locating Audiobooks for Use in the Classroom Many students benefit from having books on audio, and delivering books with iPod provides a mobile and exciting way for students to listen and learn. If you already have audiobooks on CD in your classroom or school library, you can import those books into iTunes and then sync them to iPod touch. A large selection of audiobooks is available for purchase from the Audiobooks section of the iTunes Store. In addition, iTunes U includes hundreds of public domain audiobooks recorded and distributed by the University of South Florida.
12 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning To locate audiobooks available from the iTunes Store, click iTunes Store in the sidebar in iTunes. Click Audiobooks under iTunes Store in the main iTunes Store window. The available audiobooks, such as Lord of the Flies, Macbeth, The Great Gatsby, and The Lorax, are organized by category. You can also locate audiobooks by entering a title or author in the search field at the top right of the iTunes window, and then pressing Return or Enter. To go to the large collection of audiobooks in the Lit2Go collection offered by the University of South Florida, go to http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/ Browse/usf.edu.1331511669 . Students can view the text of the book while they listen by tapping the iPod touch screen when the book is playing. They can also adjust the pace at which the book is read as well as easily start and stop listening. For information about using audiobooks on iPod touch, including how to adjust the book’s play speed, see “Appendix: iPod touch 101” later in this guide. Subscribing to Podcasts In addition to the resources of iTunes U, a wide range of other educational content has been developed for and is delivered via podcasting. With podcasts, you and your students can subscribe to free audio or video content that is available on the Internet. Once you subscribe to a podcast, each new episode gets downloaded to a computer automatically and then is synced to an iPod. The iTunes Store is one of the best sources for education-related podcasts, with a section of content for education. You’ll find shows produced by students, professional development materials from other educators, podcasts designed to help with learning a new language, and podcasts from museums. You and your students can also create and post podcasts to the iTunes Store. (See “Producing Podcasts with GarageBand” later in this guide.) iTunes displays podcasts you’ve subscribed to in the Podcasts section in the iTunes window’s sidebar. See “Resources” later in this guide for a link to tutorials about subscribing to podcasts. Locating Movies, Music, Speeches, and Other Media In addition to podcasts and audiobooks, you can also use other types of existing content with iPod touch and iTunes. You can browse through the iTunes Store to locate a variety of other media to enhance your curriculum, such as documentary movies, famous speeches, and children’s music.
13 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Creating Your Own Content iPod touch and iTunes offer easy access to many types of education content that you and your students produce in the classroom, and the voice recording capability of iPod touch means it’s a tool for producing content as well. Education content students create may include digital media projects created with iLife, class podcasts produced with GarageBand and iMovie, slideshow presentations, and voice recordings of interviews or reading samples to evaluate student progress. Producing Digital Content with iLife Apple’s iLife suite is unparalleled in allowing you and your students to easily create media-rich lessons and projects. Producing digital media projects gives students a compelling way to learn and express their knowledge in any curriculum area. With iPod touch, students have an exciting tool with which they can share those projects. The iLife suite, which is included with every new Mac, includes five applications: • iMovie can be used for creating digital movies and video podcasts that can then be exported to iPod touch for viewing. • iPhoto can be used for importing, organizing, editing, and sharing photos. These photos can be used in iMovie projects and Keynote slide presentations and added to podcasts created in GarageBand. The movies, presentations, and podcasts can be synced to iPod touch as well as photo albums in iPhoto. • GarageBand can be used to create and record music and podcasts, which can then be exported to iTunes and synced to iPod touch. • iWeb can be used for creating webpages, blogs, and podcast feeds. Once published on the Internet, others can subscribe to student podcasts and access other student work. • iDVD is used for producing DVDs to store and share digital media projects. All of these applications are simple to use and work seamlessly with one another with the included Media Browser. For example, a podcast created in GarageBand can be used on a webpage created in iWeb. Photos in iPhoto and music files in iTunes are easily imported into iMovie. Movies, music, and podcasts can be sent to iTunes with just one click and then easily synced to iPod. To view tutorials for the iLife applications, visit www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials.
14 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Producing Podcasts with GarageBand Creating a podcast with GarageBand is an excellent and easy way for you to create content for students to use on iPod touch as well as for students to share what they’ve learned with a real audience. For example, you could create podcasts with test review information, science lab instructions, or language exercises. Students could create a weekly podcast recap of what they’ve studied for the week. This could be distributed to parents and the general public as a way to showcase the quality work occurring in your classroom or school. Students could create a podcast of poetry readings or book reports, providing motivation for writing in the classroom. They could also publish summaries of science projects or reports of school sporting events. All it takes to create a podcast is GarageBand (included with iLife), a computer with a built-in microphone, and your students’ creativity. To get started, students open a new podcast file in GarageBand. They click simple controls to start, stop, and play back recording, then add sound effects, jingles (short music snippets designed for podcast use), and other music. GarageBand will automatically adjust the sound quality and volume levels. Students can also create podcast artwork by adding photos or other images from an iPhoto library. This can enhance the podcast and help to tell the story. Students could even add hypertext links that send listeners to relevant websites. Students can then publish the podcast to the iTunes Store, send their podcast episode to iWeb and publish it on the Internet with a MobileMe account, or add it to a school website.
15 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Before students begin creating podcasts themselves, you may want to review or share with the class some examples of podcasts other students have created. A few of these are listed below. • Radio WillowWeb: Willowdale Elementary School students in Omaha, Nebraska have a lot to share about what they learn. www.itunes.com/podcast?id=73800253 • A School in the Coulee: Longfellow Middle School students in La Crosse, Wisconsin produce this podcast on topics from literary adaptations to the continent of Africa. www.itunes.com/podcast?id=79169064 • Podcast Central: This comprehensive collection of podcasts is produced by the students, teachers, and administration of Mabry Middle School in Marietta, Georgia. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=73888013 Creating Video Podcast Content with iMovie In addition to creating podcasts that combine sound and images with GarageBand, you and your students can readily produce video content for iPod touch with iMovie. With iMovie, you can create documentaries, video podcasts, creative films, and digital stories. The videos can include video footage, photos and other images, as well as narration, music, sound effects, and more. To view the finished movie on iPod touch, you send it to iTunes directly from iMovie and then sync it to your iPod touch. Using iPod touch for Voice Recording You and your students can record memos, lectures, interviews, and conversations in full stereo on an iPod touch. Audio files can be reviewed later on iPod touch by using headphones or the built-in speaker. When you connect your iPod touch to your Mac, the audio recordings are copied to iTunes. The recorded audio files can then be reviewed in iTunes, edited in GarageBand, and used in other projects, such as for narration in a podcast created in GarageBand or an iMovie movie project. How you produce a voice recording varies somewhat depending on the model of iPod touch and the software version that is installed on the device. To record, you use a voice recording application and Apple earphones with a built-in microphone or a third-party microphone. A voice recording application, called Voice Memos, is included with each second generation iPod touch that has version 3.0 software installed (sold separately). Otherwise, you can download an inexpensive third-party voice recording application from the App Store. With each iPod touch model and software version, you connect the Apple earphones with a built-in microphone or the third-party microphone to iPod touch, open the voice recording app, and start recording. (For more information, see “Accessorizing iPod touch” later in this guide.) The possibilities are endless—students can share personal notes, capture field trip notes, track small group discussions, or conduct interviews to use in a documentary film or podcast. Reading samples can be captured for assessment purposes or for students to use for self-reflection. Students learning a foreign language can record themselves to practice speaking and fluency. You can use iPod touch to dictate instructions for science labs, lesson plans, and research notes, or to record “to-do” lists as you think of them. Voice recording on iPod touch can also be used for recording staff or parent meetings instead of transcribing them. You can share what was recorded by posting the audio file on a website.
16 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Sharing Presentations with iPod touch Another great feature of iPod touch is the ease with which you can share and view presentations that you and your students produce. For example, students could use a presentation to share their findings from a lab experiment, to produce flash cards for review, or to demonstrate what they have learned about a period in history. Using Keynote or PowerPoint, students can create slides with text, charts, tables, photos, their own artwork, and movies. They can record voiceover narration to go with their slides as well as animation effects and transitions to enhance their presentations. They can then send the presentations to iTunes from Keynote, then copy them to an iPod touch to share their creations. To share a PowerPoint presentation, you export it in the QuickTime movie format and then import it into iTunes and sync it to iPod touch. Connecting the iPod touch to a presentation device—such as a projector or television monitor—makes presentations incredibly portable.This is easily accomplished with an AV cable, such as the Apple iPod AV cable (sold separately). For more information, see “Accessorizing iPod touch” later in this guide.
17 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Browsing the Internet with Safari With Safari, if the iPod touch is connected to a Wi-Fi network, you and your students can browse websites and search for information on the Internet, including Google searches. With iPod touch, students can do research both in and outside of the classroom and can have up to eight webpages open at a time. Files in PDF format can be downloaded and viewed on iPod touch as well. You can also add bookmarks and sync them to iPod touch from a computer, particularly helpful if you want to provide students with a group of websites to use for research. Websites can be viewed in either portrait or landscape orientation—you just rotate iPod touch to change the orientation. It’s easy to scroll around webpages or to zoom in and out on a page. Just double-tap or pinch to zoom in and out. Safari automatically fits the webpage column to the iPod touch screen for easy reading.
18 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Accessing Information with Web Apps Many web applications (web apps) are now available that are specially designed to take advantage of the Multi-Touch display on iPod touch and the iPhone. For example, you and your students can use web apps when connected to a Wi-Fi network to do the following: • Check out the latest news from a variety of news sources. http://getnews.mine.nu • See what happened on this day in history. www.mymobilewebapps.com/history • Read education headline news. http://207.45.186.82/~mdelfs/iphone/education/index/index.html • Catch up on economic stimulus articles. http://207.45.186.82/~mdelfs/iphone/stimulus/index/index.html As with other websites, you visit these websites by typing their URL in the Safari address bar on iPod touch or by adding a bookmark to each. To browse through the more than 1700 web apps now available, go to www.apple.com/webapps. The description of each web app includes a link to that page. Creating Webpages for Viewing on iPod touch When you and students create webpages that will be viewed on iPod touch, it’s easy to design them so that they are optimized for viewing on iPod touch or another mobile device. For example, using columns and blocks to lay out a webpage makes the page more readable on iPod touch and works better for double-tapping. For details of such considerations, see the “Getting Started with Web Apps” document at http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/GS_WebApp .
19 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Using the Applications Included with iPod touch The applications that come with iPod touch offer a set of valuable resources that support teaching and learning in the classroom. In addition to browsing the Internet with Safari (as discussed in the previous chapter), students can listen to downloaded audio and view video content, take notes, use a calculator, check email, create and sync calendars, and more. This chapter provides an overview of many of these applications. Music By tapping Music on your iPod touch, you can access content that has been downloaded from iTunes and iTunes U, including enhanced podcasts, audiobooks, student voice recordings, famous speeches, songs, and more. To browse your audio collection, tap Music, then tap Playlists, Artists, or Songs. Tap More to browse Albums, Audiobooks, Compilations, Composers, Genres, or Podcasts. Tap a title to play it. Video iPod touch allows you to view full motion video downloaded from iTunes, including free education movies in iTunes U, feature films, TV shows, video podcasts, and instructional media. Also, iPod touch integrates seamlessly with iMovie, so student productions can be viewed on the go. To play a movie, tap Video, then tap the video you want to view. Videos play in widescreen to take advantage of the full iPod touch display. To display the video controls, tap the screen once; tap it again to hide the controls. Photos With Photos on iPod touch, you can view photos and images transferred from your computer or saved on iPod touch. They can be viewed in portrait or landscape mode and as a slideshow. Photos can also be used for wallpaper on iPod touch. Tap Photos to see the images available on iPod touch. Tap to display photo controls. Double-tap an image to zoom in.
20 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Notes With Notes, you can easily add, read, and revise notes that appear onscreen on a yellow notepad. If iPod touch is set up for email, you can also email notes that you’ve created. Notes can be used for to-do lists, for taking notes as students work on collaborative projects, at staff meetings and field trips, and more. And because you can copy and paste text with iPod touch, you can copy text from a webpage or an email and add it to a note. To add a note, tap Notes, then tap the Plus Sign. When you are finished typing the note with the keyboard, tap Done. Tap the envelope at the bottom of the screen to email your note. Tap Notes at the upper left of the screen to view all of your notes. Calculator iPod touch includes Calculator—you tap the onscreen buttons to enter figures and perform calculations. Calculator makes it easy for students to keep track of their calculations—when you tap the add, subtract, multiply, or divide button, a white ring appears around that button to indicate what operation is selected. When you rotate the iPod touch, it changes to a fully functional scientific calculator with dozens of functions. Mail The Mail application can be used to receive and send emails when the iPod touch has joined a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet. The email account settings need to be added to iPod touch Settings or in the iTunes iPod touch preferences pane. You can send and receive photos and graphics that have been sent as part of an email message and can view attached PDFs and other files. Calendars To keep track of important dates or school schedules, you and your students can use the Calendar feature of iPod touch. You can enter and edit calendar events directly on iPod touch. You can also create calendars with iCal (included on every new Mac) or Outlook, such as a class calendar with due dates for projects, school holidays, field trips, and other school activities, and then sync the calendar to iPod touch to share with the class. To view the calendar on iPod touch, tap the Calendar icon. Clock You and students can use the Clock application to see what time it is in other parts of the world, to set repeating or one-time alarms, and use a stopwatch and timer. To use the Clock application, tap the Clock icon, then tap World Clock, Alarm, Stopwatch, or Timer to use that feature.
