32 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Enhancing Classroom Learning with iPod touch and iTunes There is no shortage of ways you can use iPod touch and iTunes to support teaching and learning. This chapter provides some example ideas for their use in the classroom. Supporting Language Acquisition iPod touch offers a wide array of engaging ways to assist students as they gain language skills. Students of all ages can benefit from the many language acquisition apps and resources available from the Apple App Store and iTunes Store. For example, younger students can have fun while learning grammar and letter sounds with animated apps while high school students can gain vocabulary expertise for college entrance exams. Students can use iPod touch to review flash cards for vocabulary in a book they are reading or for sight words for early readers, with the flashcards either ready-made or created by you or your students. Students who are learning a world language can download apps from the Apple App Store to practice the language or look up words with translator apps. Using resources available on iTunes U and the iTunes Store, they can listen to audio recordings, such as the news in Spanish, and watch videos to learn words and phrases, hearing the proper pronunciations. They can also record themselves using iPod touch or GarageBand to practice the language and improve their fluency. Using the lyrics and album art information in each audio file can further reinforce the learning of another language. For example, if the text of what a student is listening to is pasted into the Lyrics portion of the audio file, students can see and hear the content. Building Reading Fluency Struggling readers do not k now what they would sound like as a fluent reader. You can use iPod touch or GarageBand to record students as they read a passage, then edit the recording in GarageBand by eliminating pauses and miscues so that the student sounds as fluent as possible. Send the edited recording to iTunes and sync with an iPod touch. The student can listen to himself or herself reading naturally—that recording then becomes the bar the student strives for when reading aloud.
33 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Staying Organized All students, and particularly those who have difficulty with organization, will find many valuable tools included with iPod touch. They can use the Calendar application and write notes to themselves to keep up with due dates. You can send email to specific students with information, reminders about classwork, and PDF files of assignments. Students can also use the Clock application, included with iPod touch, to set alarms for themselves to stay on track, and download additional apps from the App Store to help organize their time. Motivating Readers with Audiobooks Audiobooks can be downloaded for use on iPod touch, or older students can use iPod touch with a voice recorder or GarageBand to narrate and record books for younger students to listen to. Younger students can read along using the book as they listen. Students can pause as they’re listening to an audiobook to take notes with the Notes application or use the Internet when they have a question about something in the book. They can also read the text of the book on the iPod touch as they listen. Some teachers find it helpful to have hesitant or struggling readers listen to the first chapter of a book on iPod touch so they can get “hooked” on the book, and then have them read the rest of the book on their own. Reaching All Learners iPod touch can be a supportive tool for students with special needs. Using an iPod touch, students with visual impairments and learners at all levels can listen to audiobooks, speeches, foreign language samples, podcasts, your recorded lectures, test review information, lab instructions, and notes they record themselves. Students can reinforce their auditory learning by viewing slides, photos, and videos. With VoiceOver on iPod touch, students can hear navigation information read aloud. And with voice recording software, you and your students can record many types of audio files—for example, ELL students can record and play back English dialogue, students can record notes if they have difficulty with written note-taking, or you can record test questions for students to play back in class. Where in the World You can enrich curriculum in many subject areas with the use of Google Maps, included with iPod touch, and Google Earth, available from the App Store at no cost. Students can find famous locales, sites referred to in literature, or explore locales to set their own stories or scripts. They can use Google Maps and Google Earth to develop a presentation about historical buildings or locations in their community, switching between views to learn more. They can then use iPod touch to take notes, view photos, and look up more information on the Internet—and then share their presentation with others via iTunes and iPod touch. Many other applications can be downloaded to support students’ global studies, such as reference apps about the world’s countries and historical games.
34 Getting Started with iPod touch: A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Mobile Math No matter what their level of math, students will enjoy math learning with iPod touch. They can reinforce their math skills with engaging, interactive apps downloaded from the Apple App Store to learn about fractions, review algebra, study for college entrance exams, and more. iTunes U also offers many math-related resources to enrich your lessons—for example, students can explore the relationships between math and music, nature, and art, watch math videos, or play challenging math games. They can also perform calculations and check their work with the iPod touch built-in Calculator, which includes a scientific calculator, and by downloading the graphing calculator available from the App Store. You can extend your classroom teaching of math by making a video of yourself introducing a new mathematical concept—students can then download that video to iPod touch and review it as many times as they need to reach a full understanding of the topic. Astronomy to Zoology iPod touch can enrich teaching and learning of science at all grade levels. In lab classes, students can access experiment instructions that can include narration, text, video and photos. Students can then use iPod touch to collect data with the Notes application, time data collection with the Clock application, record their results with Voice Memos, compare their results with images from similar experiments on the Internet, and share their data with other students via email. A broad array of valuable science resources is available for use with iPod touch through the iTunes Store. You can browse the Science category of iTunes U to find content for students, from examples of bird songs to talks on physics and nanotechnology. Applications that can be downloaded for iPod touch include a clinometer to measure slopes, a seismometer to measure the earth’s vibrations or movies, periodic tables, a science quiz app, and astronomy apps for observing the sky. Using iPod touch for Assessment Oral language sampling is one way to evaluate the language of students with a hearing loss or any language delay. A voice recording is often a more accurate indicator of the communication ability of a student than evidence obtained through formal tests, and the recordings can be used year after year to track student progress. You can make recordings of a student with iPod touch and then import them into iTunes to save in the student’s audio playlist. You can then use iPod touch or iTunes to easily move to any point in the sample to easily transcribe and review the student speech sample. These samples can also readily be shared with parents or a student study team. Using an iPod and iTunes for capturing and storing these voice recordings greatly simplifies the process.
