ipod Apps for Special Education

After beginning to use the ipod with a student within the classroom, I began to wonder what other ways I could incorporate this highly motivating tool. I found a great blog called Teaching All Students that shares ideas for incorporating technology in with students of all ability levels. My favorite posts are called App Mondays. Each Monday, the author of the blog shares a new ipod/iphone app that can be used to assist with teaching special education. Some of the apps are for the students. There is everything from flashcards to word processing tools. Other apps are geared toward the teacher and assist with tasks like data collection. I look forward to each Monday and learning new ways to use the ipod touch with my student. Have you used an ipod in the classroom? If so, how did you use it? Were your students successful?
