I have learned that iPods can be a great educational tool not just a fun music player. This section gives students some great ways to use their iPod to help them learn.

To start with, here is a short video tutorial from Apple on how to add audio files to your iPod.

iPod Flash Cards

It is possible to use your iPod to study! These PowerPoint presentations are specially designed for 5th grade students to use to study. Using iPod’s “Photos” feature, you can transfer the images to your iPod and study on the go! These flash cards also work with a Microsoft Zunes. If you don’t have an iPod or a Zune you can still down load the PowerPoint presentations and view them on your computer.

Currently all flash cards were created by Mr. Coley. Directions at the bottom of this page are also written by Mr. Coley.
