Using the iPod to gather student data (captured photos and captured video) - students can connect iPod Touch to student stations and easily retrieve the photos and videos because Touch shows up as a device/drive
Use the iPod to hold teacher instructions for a center or Math or Science lab/investigation
Using the iPod Photo Album to hold a "Writing Prompt" photo gallery...teacher puts together a large selection of photos and students are able to select one photo each day to write from in their daily journal
Using the iPod's camera tool as part of a scavenger hunt...searching for angles, simple machines, shadows, etc.
Go with a Mission Probable/Possible theme using the iPod as a special device to recieve your mission...students groups are given a device to see get their assignment
Use the iPods during field trips...teacher can create docent like videos/audio files that guide students throughout the field trip
Use the iPods during trips to the Outdoor Classroom

iPods in NISD
John and Lorraine have been working feverishly to create a wonderful area online where you can find all information for iPods in NISD. The nature of these devices is that there are continuous updates and lots of details to be knowledgeable of. With that in mind, you will find this resource EXTREMELY valuable. Check back for updates periodically! Thank you, John and Lorraine!

GUIDELINES for Use of MacBook and iPods
GUIDELINES for Use of MacBook and iPods
1. The iPod cart has its homebase with the CIT. The CIT will work with individual teachers to prepare the iPods with the necessary audio, video or apps needed for the lesson to be delivered.
2. The MacBook is for syncing the iPod cart. It should remain with the cart and NOT be checked out for personal use. Teachers should create their audio or video files with their NISD computer, save as an mp3 or mp4 to a flash drive and then bring those files to the MacBook for syncing. Gerald has the iPod cart configured and ready for syncing and can facilitate the process.
3. The MacBook uses the iTunes library for syncing. When a teacher's project is complete that library can and should be replaced by the next teacher project. It is the responsibility of the teacher to keep their original files. This should not be a problem at all as they are saved to their flash drive.
4. Northside has no mechanism for purchasing music, video or apps from the iTunes store. Only free apps can be used at this time. No purchased music, video, or apps can be synced to the individual iPods. We must have our procedure in place and on firm ground with copyright issues before music, video or apps can be purchased. We are not there yet.
