Workshop 1. iPods + iTunes + World Language = The Perfect Fit!
The
iPod revolutionized music, and it has quickly taken over the classroom
as a portable learning tool, allowing anywhere, anytime access to speeches,
audio books, and lectures. Photos and podcasts expand teaching possibilities,
and video is evolving the experience even further. Often thought of as
just an MP3 Player, the iPod has the ability to inspire and empower learning
communities: photos and podcasts expanded teaching possibilities, and,
now, video is evolving the experience even further. World Language classes
can now employ iPod technology not only to replaying class lectures, but
to reinforce literacy skills; improve listening, speaking, reading, and
writing skills; and encourage self-assessment by students and teachers.
The opportunities are endless now for teachers to seamlessly create, organize,
distribute, and access all kinds of learning materials. The power to learn
is in your hands: witness the evolution of the revolution.
