This thread could have been placed in the iPhone topic area but because it specifically relates to iPhones in education I have placed it here.

On 25th October 2005, the Gracemount High School in Scotland handed out free iPods to teachers and a whole class of students. The iPodagogy project was a bold experiment to determine what the teaching, and indeed the learning, benefits of an iPod at school might be.

The Rosetta High School in Hobart, Tasmania has become the first Australian school to officially use iPods in the classroom as a teaching aid. The Rosetta High students can record lessons and create project podcasts, as well as have their assignments, lesson plans and school calendars pushed out to their 'pods.


Further details here.

The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does!

I have a friend working on podcasts for his science students, but I don't think the school is handing out iPods!

An old topic I know but I have been browsing today.
The primary school I work at started introducing iPods to Year 6 classrooms last year. I believe 5 in each class. I also believe that other classes will be getting more as the budget allows.
The kids thought it was great.
