Peg,
I am interested in developing curriculum related to the many aspects of the iPhone. I purchased mine in late August, "investigated" uses for two days, turned it over to my nine-year-old and learned about 15 different things about it in about a half hour. Besides the fact that I cannot type as fast as my mind processes, I'd love to develop some curriculum around it if you are game. Let me know! Maybe a wiki would be best?
How have you added it into your classroom since Sept.?
