iPod as learning tool
I have used the iPod quite a bit this year. I have been experimenting
a lot but not publishing much. However, I took the iPod with the
microphone to our field trip the other day and published the resulting
podcast on our blog. I used the field trip to reinforce a lesson on
Lindamood-Bell's Visualizing and Verbalizing program. It uses
structure words to prompt students to better visualize what they are
reading. We have another field trip coming up. This time I think I
will borrow a few more and hand them to kids to record as they go
through the Colorado History Museum.
My reading group has been experimenting with recording the upcoming
story and then burning it for our listening center. We have had
problems staying focused long enough to have a good recording, but
will keep trying.
Another thought is to use my class blog to have students reflect on
what we learned this week in each subject. The iPod would be a great
way for my lower students to post their reflections verbally.
Any suggestions for other uses?
