The iPod nano 5th generation is very cool and affords us fantastic opportunities in education. I was lucky enough to receive an iPod nano for Christmas, and ever since I’ve been discovering new possibilities for its use in education.In my war with what I think is a faulty Flip Video camera (it’s frozen on the startup screen), I turned to my handy iPod nano. I can take video with this! And the screen is bigger and clearer, so why wouldn’t I just use this instead of the Flip? Duh! I can also transfer the movie files to any computer without launching iTunes.
Another dilemma solved… I have several classes starting VoiceThread projects. I’m thinking to myself, hmmm, how are all of my students going to record their comments in my one educator account? I know, my iPod! Yes, folks it is true. I can record voices using VoiceMemo on my iPod nano, plug it into any computer, and drag the voice memo files off. How cool is that?
I am so excited about these possibilities. Now, to share with my students and teachers!
