“For many users, broadband mobile devices like the iPhone have already begun to assume many tasks that were once the exclusive province of portable computers”.

A recent survey predicts that by the year 2020, most people across the world will be using a mobile device as their primary means for connecting to the Internet. (www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/270/report_display.asp)

“Almost every Student carries a mobile device, making it a natural choice for content delivery and even field work and data capture.”

3. iPod Touch

iTouch in Education?

“Preliminary research ... found students

were more willing to come to school, did

more homework and used their iPods

more than laptops or desktop computers”

“It astounds me that after using the iPod Touch in the classroom since last year, there are still so many new ways it can be applied to my teaching, & so many new connections to be made with people who are starting to use them around the world”.

6 Queensland Educator’s talk

about using the iTouch

“My experiences so far have all been positive. It really is a natural tool for them to learn on. Main strength are the simplicity of its design. It is easy to access apps and children of all ages can access the apps”. 

“My 3 year old daughter loves superpoke pets where she gets to feed, clean and play with a virtual penguin. I really think the ipod touch has huge merits for learning in the 21st century”.

- Dawn Clark, Cedar Creek

6 Queensland Educator’s talk

about using the iTouch

“The most significant strength is its size, & subsequent portability, which is important when considering devices for integration. The device is easily managed, & can be simply restored if mistakes are made”.

“I am seeing the rise of iPhones possessed by students.  By demonstrating productive use of the platform with the iPod Touch I can teach students to use the device they own in a more productive and effective manner”.

- Shane Roberts Gold Coast
