A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning
iPod touch for Professional
Development
For educators, there’s never enough time in the day, which is why using iPod touch for
professional development is such a great solution. The mobile nature of iPod touch
gives you the ability to review and reuse development materials when and where it’s
most convenient. You can download professional development content to your iPod
touch and listen while you’re at the gym, driving to and from work, or doing chores at
home. You can view videos of new directives and techniques without waiting for the
next face-to-face training session. And you can pause listening to take notes, email
an idea to a colleague, or look up additional information on the Internet—all on iPod
touch.
Podcasting allows administrators to update faculty—even an entire district—in
minutes. With just a few clicks, professional development content can be delivered
automatically. It’s the perfect way to expand ongoing training programs without
straining district resources.
