I-Pod+Assignment+5

I see myself using the iPod in my classroom a variety of ways in the future. I have already seen some of the great applications that are educator friendly and can be utilized in the classroom very easliy. In the future I see myself being able to pull up a youtube link and play it right off of my ipod that I had saved before. I can record the students different reports that we have in class and have them hear what they sound like or have another person critique their presentations. I can also use this if I am not able to be in class one day to record what I expect them to do and relay any types of messages that I needed to them. I love the fact that I can get scientifical data at the touch of my fingers and give the students someone else to listen to besides myself. I really look forward to playing around on the Ipod to see what else I can come up with, and hearing what else people have done to see how I can encorperate that technology into my classroom.

One problem that I see with the Ipod touch though is being able to have a wireless internet connection to use while in my classroom. Our school does have wireless internet, but nothing that is set up in the rooms that I am in for my health classes. It has been frustrating to not be able to the Ipod touch to its full compasity because of the lack of a Wi-Fi signal. But non-the-less it is a very neat educational tool that I cannot keep my hands off of!
