Article on the use of iPods in education

If you are interested in what different universities are doing with ipods, check out the article in this month's issue of Multimedia & Internet @ Schools entitled "The Proof is in the Podding" by Stephen Abram. His email is stephen.abram@sirsidynix.com

The article discusses Duke Universities purchase of an Ipod for every student and the applications they used for them. What a great boost to education!

There is also a great list of resources at the end of the article including:

What a mess this will make! Hopefully legislators will think twice about this one.

Curriculum and Libraries

If you are teaching Information Literacy, there is a great grade-friendly curriculum available at Common Sense Media . It is easy to follow and very student friendly. At the Corning Painted-Post Middle Schools, we have been teaching a class this year to the 6th grades called Library and Information Skills. This site has had some great resources we have used. Another site we have used for resources is: ReadWorks . Their stories are mostly non-fiction and align to the Common Core.
