Well, just as expected the iPods are a hit with the students. Today we worked on getting familiar with the devices. It was an "Exploration Day" so to speak. I was surprised with the little exposure some students have had with iPods. Some seemed to hold it as if it would break while others dove right in. To sum up our first day, there were definitely a few satisfying and exciting moments.
Here are few-
This student (above) was excited about every single aspect. He wanted to use the "twitter" app to share what he was learning. In fact I think he asked at least 5-6 times today. Sounds like validation to me.
A couple students immediately went to the "Maps" app to search for their house. They found them pretty quickly too.
One student began taking pictures & video of white board drawings in an attempt do some stop motion animation.
Another student wrote a note to wish her older brother a happy birthday via twitter.
For what it's worth it was a GREAT first day. I'm looking forward to more, I think the kids are too.
