At the end of last year we purchased some hand held technologies for demonstration purposes, we now have the following, ipod nano, i pod touch and a Samsung Digital Freedom. If you would like a demonstration of any of this equipment please email me at a.nock@wlv.ac.uk

Ideas for Use


Finding credible uses for this equipment is not too difficult, not only can this type of technology be used within the classroom it is excellent for homework, revision, fieldtrips and work experience.






The i Pods have a facility known a i Notes this allows the leaner to make notes throughout their lesson and giving them the opportunity to go over the lessons again in their own time.

Other uses may include displaying photo collections, viewing e- books, listening to audio books quizzes and Podcasts and Vodcasts.The nanos may help to provide some solutions to accessibility issues as they have excellent playback facilities making it easier for the leaner to digest information and simple solutions for differentiation with the i Pod Reporter which allows for voice recording.
