I have gone through the set up process with staff. Each elementary grade level has a set of iPod Touches to use in the classroom, and a grade level iTunes account. Each elementary building also has one of the syncing cases to use to sync apps to their iPod Touches. I also have purchased iTunes gift cards for each grade level so they can purchase apps. With the home sharing feature in iTunes they can purchase apps and share them with one another across grade levels. (I also receive the receipt each time they purchase something -- a must) Basically, each grade level is responsible for managing their classroom set of iPod Touches. Currently we have around 70 Touches with another 20 + some iPads on the way. Below are the apps I have purchased/downloaded to use for demos with staff. Some of my favorites as well as staff favorites are the ABA apps, Alien Math, Learn Sight Words (dolche word list practice-- it's awesome), Spelldown, iWriteWords, US States. Just out of coolness the Star Walk one is neat for the iPad; my daughter made me download it after watching the commercial several times. :-) I liked the iScore Baseball app for keeping softball stats this summer -- coolness for me. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus on the server aea8.k12.ia.us] - Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us/ -

Re: [info-tech] Managing iPods/iPads and Magic TV Remote
I am getting the 16GB models iPads (which were the $499 model), which for purposes now will suffice memory wise. This next shipment of Touches we are getting will be the 64 GB model, as they will not only be an additional Touch for our centers/activity stations . . . but teachers were also wanting a digital camera and video camera for their classrooms . . . so we went all out in regard to memory so these Touches can also be used for those various uses. Not sure what the pricing was for that group. On Nov 9, 2010, at 12:01 PM, Richardson,Tony wrote: Which IPads are you purchasing?

Re: [info-tech] Managing iPods/iPads and Magic TV Remote
We have some 16 GB and some 32 GB. The 16 holds tons of apps, would only need more space if you're going to load it up with video. --- Timothy A.
