I funded the iPods with $10,000 I received for the school as a result of my participation on a reality show called "The Principal's Office" which aired on TruTV. We have not lost any iPods as we have a pretty good established protocol in place for when the teachers sign them out for use. Earphones are another story :)Eric Sheningerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733305358794643322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-79064612340126036492010-05-12T07:09:21.579-04:002010-05-12T07:09:21.579-04:00Thanks for including the link to the equipment uti...Thanks for including the link to the equipment utilised.

I recently experimented with the use of MP3 players in a special education role- elementary (uploading phonics videos, both YouTube and also student/teacher created out of Powerpoint for students to review during lang. centres). I have faced mixed reaction from other staff re: this experimentation. Not everyone has understood 'my vision'; some thought I was 'jumping on the tech bandwagon'. The comfort zone re: tech (beyond the one (old) PC per class) in schools isn't fully there yet...Bravo to those 2 teachers! And I love the mobile ipod cart! serttech.edublogs.org @julieejohnsonnJulie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780027009870407066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-86675238029422619042010-05-09T20:03:26.362-04:002010-05-09T20:03:26.362-04:00WOW!

I know students would LOVE this type of activity at our school but funding is a serious hurdle. Do you ever "lose" ipods? Having an administrator who supports innovative risks is essential. Just like we tell our students: we can't let our fear of failure stop us from trying new things!MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627464459833209671noreply@blogger.com
