This past school year I had the opportunity to have an itouch in my classroom. I received so much feedback from all of my students! I used it soley for academics to begin with but then found SO SO SO many applications to add to it that I began to add miscellaneous apps that were good for the brain as well and had time set aside in the students learning to earn to use those apps. It was a driving force with the students who had behavior issues, it drove them to behave more respectfully with me and in their classrooms! I loved it!
The only downfall is that I had to log in the application and the amount of time that the students spent on each app. After logging in this information, I actually began to see it not so much as a downfall but more as advantageous. I was able to see what the students like and how they were learning - say...their math facts!
Even though I'm not required to log in the information, I still want my students to log their app use so I can monitor and adjust as needed! :)
