Janice Friesen replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
I was at a conference this week where it was stated that we need to purchase the apps for EACH device we are syncing it to. I had not understood this before. It would be REALLY difficult when we are updating 20 at a time. Does anyone have more…
Janice Friesen replied to Matt Webb's discussion 'Ipod Touch in Education'
Forgive me if this question has been answered.
I have just finished upgrading our set of 20 iTouches to OS 4.1. This allows you to organize your apps in folders. That seemed like a good idea, except that it would take me WAY too much time to do all…

We are also all PC, but the district allowed us to have one mac for syncing.
Janice Friesen replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
We decided to go with a Bretford cart. It holds 40 iTouches in two drawers. You can sync one drawer at a time. We only have 20 iTouches so far. Our Mac representative sent me a bid for the whole set of itouches, the cart and a mac for syncing. There…

After trying several different types we decided to go with the ones you are talking about. We have not used them a lot, but I think that for the price they are perfect. We will see how they hold up next year.
Janice Friesen replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
Earlier in the discussion I said that the Bretford cart was too heavy. I was wrong, the complaint came from someone who did not take the brake off and was pushing against it!

Hi Jack,
I looked at the site and sent it on to my HS Librarian. It sounds fun, but I work with K-5.

- About Me
- I am passionate about educational technology, but skeptical about many of the new things. I have made conscious decisions NOT to try some of the new things just because it becomes overwhelming.
I worked for 6 years with the eMINTS National Center in Missouri and will be starting a job as a Computer Technology Coordinator at Barton Creek Elementary School.

Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind passing my message along to students and your HS colleagues again?
Thanks,
Jack

- Hi Janice. I was wondering if your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
