Why do you think it is important to tie the technology to the objective? Here's how I see it - Why teach more when you can teach smarter? Also, our stduents' are geared for technology - technology it today!
Why should we hold students accountable for the stations/centers?
Because students need to be monitored - we need to be able to see how the students are progressing and where their needs are so we can base our small group teaching on their weaker arease.
Visit 2 of the applicable links to interactive websites for your content/grade level. Which sites did you like. How could you use them as stations? How can you hold the students accountable for their time in these stations?
I would have the students log into the computer and then write down what page they are on and the amount of time on a google document.
List two to three apps you found for the iPod Touch/iPad that you can use in your classroom.
Sight Words, Word Families and Kidztory Animated Story Books are 3 apps that I intend on having for my students on the i-pad/i-touches.
What do you see that station looking like? I-pad/i-touches will be located in one area of my classroom so students aren't distracted when they are in small groups with me.

What about other ways to use the iPod Touch/iPad? Share another way you can see your students using the device as a station.
I've used it as students walk to and from class so that they are occupied and learning even as they are in transition to their other classes.
