Day two of my courses have been excellent. Still, my excitement level is high. I am finding the class work much more enjoyable than doing the online coursework on my own. It is nice to have people to bounce ideas off of, and I enjoy working with other people more than on my own. Anyhow, all good.
IPod touch: I am figuring it out and am very excited. My brother’s girlfriend was over last night, talked me through it and got me set up properly. As someone was saying in class, there is before iPod touch and after iPod touch. I was looking through many apps last night, so exciting. As mentioned in yesterday’s blog, I am really interested in hearing impaired app. I was looking through many last night. I think I need to buy a headset with a mic on it, and then I will try it out. I am amazed at so many of the things out there. I have borrowed an iPod for the summer, but have decided I am going to buy one once the course is over (actually my boyfriend wants to buy me one for a treat).
Things I have learned: how to sign in, how to sign into App store, not to sync up with Lucas’ iPod (it is his I am borrowing), because his information is stored on his own computer as mine is stored on my own computer. Once I get my own iPod, I can connect into the apps just by syncing up with my computer. I was confused as to whether or not to download iPhone apps or iPad apps (my brother’s girlfriend had left by this point), but now know that I should download iPhone apps. Helen is learning!!
I am happy to bring this back to school. I think my students are going to be very excited to use their iPod touch in class. Many of the students own them already, so it will be me bringing some new information forward to what they have already. I wish I had known before. I had put together some packages for parents for kids over the summer. I would have known of this before. I think the kids would have been pretty happy about it.
Onward and upward.
