Getting Started with iPod touch:
A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning
Adding Applications from the Apple App Store
Many applications, such as Calculator and Safari, come with iPod touch, as described
in “Browsing the Internet with Safari” and “Using the Applications Included with
iPod touch,” later in this guide. You can further enhance teaching and learning by
downloading additional applications from the App Store. You can choose from an
amazing collection of applications, many of which are available free of charge and are
designedspecicallyforeducation.
Examples of applications that can be downloaded include:

You can locate and download the applications from the App Store in iTunes and then
sync them to iPod touch or can download them directly to iPod touch when connected
to the Internet via a wireless network. You can search for applications by category or by
name.
You need an iTunes Store account to download applications from the App Store,
including free items. You can set up this account by clicking Account in the iTunes
window. You do not need to enter credit card information to open an account. (For
more information, go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534.) Once an application has
been synced to iPod touch or installed directly, you can open it by tapping its icon.
Locating Audiobooks for Use in the Classroom
Manystudentsbenetfromhavingbooksonaudio,anddeliveringbookswithiPod
provides a mobile and exciting way for students to listen and learn. If you already have
audiobooks on CD in your classroom or school library, you can import those books into
iTunes and then sync them to iPod touch. A large selection of audiobooks is available
for purchase from the Audiobooks section of the iTunes Store. In addition, iTunes U
includes hundreds of public domain audiobooks recorded and distributed by the
University of South Florida.
