25. Audioboo-
Collaborative Story
Building
Get a student to record
the first line of a story,
pass it on to the next
student. Listen to it and
add to it continuing the
story is complete.

26. Mapping and Directions
Using the app, “Maps”, students can measure distances
from nearby locations. You could have students learn
geometry concepts for real locations.
Adapt maps from here http://edte.ch/blog/maths-
maps

27. Collaboration-Bump!
Children can work collaboratively on, say, a research task and pass
images to each other with the free Bump app.
Images can be gathered from the web, annotated with one of the
many comic apps (eg Comic Twist or Strip designer) and collected
via bump on on touch. The images could then be strung together
with a slideshow app (Sonic Pics) adding audio.

28. Assessment with online polls-
eClicker
Using eClicker, you can
create polls/quizes to
see if students have
learned content. All
students can connect at
the same time. Or have
students create their
own polls!

29. Foreign Languages
Working with a partner, create something
that the other person needs to describe:
Create an alien with Martian App and describe the creature
Dress up a character with DressUpLite (or other clothing app) and
describe clothing
Customize the face with PicBook and have students describe facial
features and emotions
Draw with DoodleBuddy (or any other drawing app) and describe what is
happening using verbs and adjectives

30. ESL/Learning Support Activity
Using the apps Etch a Sketch Lite or some CC pictures from Safari. Find pictures
relating to a set topic. Save these pictures to your camera roll. (4 pictures is ideal).
Go to "Strip Design". Select how many
frames you would like. Add the pictures
to your frames. (Put a border to make it
stand out). Add text boxes/speech
bubbles to each of your picture frames.Save the picture via email or as a screen-
shot. This will save it in your Photos App. They then can be used as flashcards for
learning new skills, languages or to help students with ESL.

31. Communication Skills-Skype
Latest version of skype, coupled
with latest iPod touch gives
you the ability to move around a
wireless-enabled school
video-conferencing / broadcasting
back to another skype account
being used in the
classroom on the projector.
So many possibilities are opened up.
1. Student reporters going around an activity or sports day with 'live
link up back to the studio'
2. Treasure hunt, with classroom doing the problem solving whilst
Anneka Rice volunteers go round the school folllowing the instructions
of their classmates.
3. School council can be video streamed straight into the dining room.
4. (Skype even streams video via the 3g network so iPhone/MiFi
enabled groups could even report back from field trips...)

32. Science-Weather
I have a set of ipod touches in my classroom. Last
year my first graders used the weather app to
learn about line graphs. We kept track of the
weather in the locations of our pen pals in
Zambia, Lebanon, New Hampshire (US), and our
own in Colorado (US).
They not only learned to graph, they learned
about the difference between Celsius and
Fahrenheit as well as the different seasons in the
northern and southern hemispheres. At the same
time, we referred to the time using the clock each
day as well. It showed not only the time
difference, but also clearly showed the young
learners when it was day here, but night
somewhere around the globe.
Simple lessons without purchasing any apps!

33. Questions?

34. Hands-on Time
Get an ipod touch and try out some
of the apps are on it. Discuss ideas
on you could use these in the
classroom with a partner.
