This year, through grants, our district has been able to expand our iPods in the Classroom Project for a second year and to more classroom teachers. 

We held a full day professional development session for these teachers, facilitated by Tony Vincent, world renouned educator and handheld expert.  As a result of the training, the teachers each received an iPod and a voice recorder, and the knowhow to implement a project in their classrooms. 

We had 24 teachers from all across the district participate, who together impact more than 1000 students.  Music teachers, classroom teachers, language teachers, history teachers.  All areas were represented as we learned together how to use the iPod for classroom instruction.

This webpage is a product of this day, and the lesson plans that came from the teachers as they went back to their classrooms and planned on how to impact the students in their areas.  This webpage is a resource for teachers, parents, and anybody wanting to see how to implement the use of iPods for classroom instruction.

Now, including the Technology Cadre Members and Lab Coordinators, each school has at least 6 iPods at their school for classroom use with students.  If you have any questions or would like further details, please don't hesitate to contact Nancy Pratt, at npratt@ccusd93.org .
