STUDY: Do You Use iPods?

Colleagues,

I'm a school librarian and teacher of ten years seeking a doctorate
of education at Aurora University. Our grant to use iPods at Beebe
Elementary has led me to a formal study investigating iPods in
education. Before I actually propose my study, I need to gather an idea
of the schools that actually USE iPods in the educational
setting. Despite my insistence and literary proof, my professors
doubt I will find many schools in the nation (let alone IL) that use
iPods. I know you're out there, but I need to prove it!
In order to do this, I have distributed this email to LM Net (School
Librarian/Media Specialist listserv), Ed Tech (Educational Technology
listserv), SIG-HC (ISTE's Handheld Special Interest Group listserv), and a
few other online technology colleagues to begin gathering this
information. I hope that once I compile this list, I will connect with
educators interested in participating in the study, but that's a step
ahead of what I'm working on.

Please consider responding to me off-list (my AU email below):

I DO work with iPods…

…let me tell you a bit about myself, my school, and how we're using them.

I DON'T work with iPods, but…

…I know someone who is! Let me tell you about him/her.

…I read something about iPods in education and I would love to share the
article.

Thank you for any support or leads,
