Derek Keenan replied to Shadi's discussion 'iPods in the classroom'
Hello Shadi,
I have many posts about ipods in the classroom at my website. www.mrkeenan.com I have a class set of touches I use in a High School English class. Hope that helps!
Derek Keenan replied to James Dykstra's discussion 'Anyone else Twittering?' in the group Canadians Mashup
@mrkeenan I discuss my iPod Touch program, my role as a 21st Century Learning coach, and teaching in the HS English classroom. Always looking for feedback on my blog too...

It took me 2 weeks from asking to receiving...Hope that helps!
Derek Keenan replied to Renee Nicole Vinci's discussion 'Google Wave!'
There is little value until they work out some of the bugs and open it up to everyone. At that point, the collaborative features will allow students to work together in the classroom, at home and any time of the day or night without having to be…
Derek Keenan replied to Amanda Bradshaw's discussion 'Technology'
It depends on what technology there is at home. For students with iPods, they can add a school calendar into the calendar app, then you just have to ensure it syncs. Another option is bulk SMS 'texting' the kids and/or parents. This can be…
Derek Keenan replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
Hello Norman,
I have fought with this issue as well. Apple does not provide this functionality. I would recommend e-mailing them about it (as I have done) as they tend to incorporate features that ALOT of people ask for. In an educational setting…
Derek Keenan replied to Shawn Moore's discussion 'iPhone/iPod Touch classroom applications' in the group Mac Classroom 2.0
This proposal was put through my school division to a provincial grant fund. Not too sure what the equivalent would be in the US, but in Alberta, Canada we have (or had until this year) a technology innovation fund that supports innovative uses of…

Blogging, visual representation, recording podcast and radio plays, shorter written assigments, catching students up on presentations and media they miss when they are away, text to speech apps are great for weaker readers. I feel like I am just…
Derek Keenan replied to Stacey Kelly's discussion 'iPod Touch in the Classroom'
My students do type on them (not essays, but classroom responses), and in fact I rotate students typing up the class Blog entry each day. The student grabs the iPod and posts to the blog what we did for our records and for students who miss class.…
Derek Keenan replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
Hello Bonnie, I am a High School English teacher in Canada using a class set of touches in my room. It has been an amazing adventure thus far and the more I integrate them, the more the students impress me.
Derek Keenan replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
Indigo, this topic is iPod implementation. Perhaps there is a better venue to voice your concerns than with educator that choose to and want to use Apple products.
Derek Keenan replied to Steve O'Connor's discussion 'Wikis and the Writing Process'
You're very welcome. I am grappling with some of the same issues as I move into an embedded coaching position this year, and will be gathering data from 40+ teachers at various stages of understanding about classroom improvement. Glad I could…
Derek Keenan replied to Steve O'Connor's discussion 'Wikis and the Writing Process'
Deanna,
I would assume that you have done this report writing before if you are interested in pursuing technology (Wikis) as a method of technology integration. In terms of action research, qualitative data is often what we have to start with to…
Derek Keenan replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
Hello Sandy,
I'll try to help as best I can. In order for the touch (or iPhone) to display it must be plugged into a power source. (USB) once it is connected and powered, then video can play through the video section. As of right now, I…

This might be an option for you. I looked at them before my division decided that they would rather I had the Bretford cart. Not sure about pricing, but certainly would be less than Bretford for the desktop ones.
Derek Keenan replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
I purchased some silicone cases through eBay. They came in packs of 5 for $10 I think. The people I bought through also allowed me to buy screen protectors at $1 each. Pretty reasonable protection, and a soft landing if they ever get dropped. (see…
