iPods in the Classroom

Ms. Yvonne Sanchez (Special Ed.) and Mr. Kania are working with the special education department to implement iPods into the classroom. iPods are a fantastic way to get students excited about learning as they take learning into the digital realm that today’s youth live in, and away from the more tradition lecture environment. Unlike instruction that takes place in the classroom and ends when the students leave the building, iPods can be utilized to provide on-demand learning at anytime, anywhere. Currently the iPods are helping selected students improve their reading skills, and are engaging them in the joy of reading, which previously often frustrated them. We are also in the process of developing our own custom podcasts and vodcasts, so that students can continue to practice the skills that they are learning in the classroom on their own during non-school hours.
