iPod Touch Sync station

Our sync station has finally arrived. We ended up purchasing the Parasync iPod touch/iPhone 4 station that has a capacity of 20 ipods.

Initial impressions: Excellent and super easy. Very portable and quickly charges and sync ipods within minutes

Here are some photos:

Our iPod Touches in Action!




So FINALLY, our ipod touches are here after over a year of planning and preparing. We actually decided to wait a month for the brand new iPod Touch 4 version as it has a camera built in among other features. We will be using it with a class of 20 Grade 3 students to help create a 1:1 environment.

We started by introducing it to the kids as a really big deal and they have proven to be very responsible and interested in technology. Also, that it's an "experiment" for the school to see how it can be used as a learning tool and to teach other students in the school how to use it as well. The kids were super excited but were very responsible with them. We had them explore the apps and record their wonderings and questions in Voice Memo.

Here are some photos and videos of it:



For now, we have just added free apps but working on purchasing more. Here is a list of ones we are using so far.
