www.apple.com/education is a great website offering technology tools and uses in the classroom. At first I thought, how is an elementary student going to utilize computer applications at home and at school? After exploring the website further, apple offers a tool called the iPod Touch. I know all about this great piece of technology because I own one and my 2 kids play on it all the time. I had no idea that they offered applications for learning from elementary all the way up through college. Things such as flashcards, math games, vocabulary, etc. Schools are starting to utilize these in the classrooms as well. It seems kids are aquiring phones accessible to the internet at an earlier age too. The website also offers podcasts, itunes-U and other creative software supported by their systems. Good place to start if you have Apple technology in your classroom.
