Re: STUDY: Do You Use iPods?

I attended a workshop at NAIS last year about using iPods as mobile
language labs. It was given by David Boxer and Yuriko Sakamoto from
Windward School (CA) and Judith Cramer, from Teachers College in NYC.

Holton Arms and Landon (MD independent schools) have a great podcast
series on Grant Wood paintings, on the Smithsonian website. Fabulous
example of creative use of iPods and podcasting.

Cheers.

Subject: 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,
