1. Listen to audio books 
“We were impressed to find out that at least one library has come up with a novel way to get teens into libraries: put audiobooks onto iPod Shuffles.”

2. Life Histories 
With an iPod and a voice recorder, students interview relatives about their life histories, and then combine the audio interview with family photos in an iMovie project.

3. Digital/audio fieldtrip/travelogue
On a field trip, students use an iPod with a voice recorder to take notes and a digital camera to take photos. They then create a guided tour in iMovie.

 

4.    Ambient Sounds: Berlin Comes To Life

By simply recording casually as I walked around, and taking photos along the way, I was later able to combine the images and sounds in GarageBand, and even embedded a few links to Wikipedia articles and Google satellite maps to provide even more relevance to the actual locations.

Enjoy this recording, and try this simple approach with students on the next trip across town or around the world!

 

5. Radio Show

http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=10664

After reading and listening to several radio dramas, student groups write a radio drama based on an event or period in history. Students write commercials that are appropriate for the radio age and create sound effects. The radio shows are recorded using an iPod and a voice recorder, imported into iTunes, and then shared with the whole class.

 

 

6. Reading Fluency with iPods and GarageBand

http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=10804

The goal of this lesson is to develop stronger reading fluency and comprehension, and increase language acquisition skills:

Using an iPod and a voice recorder, students record themselves reading stories. The content is then cleaned up using GarageBand and redistributed to the students who use it to sound out words, hear how language is used fluidly, and gain a better understanding of the story.

Another great value of this activity is that it gives great diagnostic info to the teacher. By keeping the original recordings of the content as GarageBand files, you can have an historical snapshot of the student's reading capabilities through out the school year. It's great for measuring words per minute, words they make mistakes on, beginning, middle and end sounds, reading comp and understanding, and vocabulary.

 

7. Learning Math With Music

http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=10668

In this lesson, students work in groups to create their own rhymes and songs for an entire family of math facts. Individual students record their math facts creations using an iPod and a voice recorder. The class will then have a complete collection of math rhymes that can be used in class or saved on a CD for students to use at home.

 

8. Digital Field Trip Report

http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=10663

This project is used in conjunction with a class field trip designed to support subject content taught in class-for example, the class could visit an Asian art museum when studying China, or a science museum when studying biology. On their field trip, students use an iPod with a voice recorder to capture their thoughts, reflections, and new learning on the museum and the exhibits they visit. They also take photos with a digital camera. Upon returning to school, they combine the audio and photos to create a guided tour in iMovie to share with others.

 

9. Speech and Language Samples

http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=10672

Oral language sampling is one way to evaluate the language of students with a hearing loss or any language delay. Recorded speech and language can be analyzed to know which grammatical structures and speech sounds the student has mastered, as well as to identify new goals. A voice recording is a more accurate indicator of the communication ability of a student than evidence obtained through formal tests, and the recordings can be used year after year to track student progress. Using an iPod for capturing and storing these voice recordings greatly simplifies the process.

 

10. Digital Science Experiments

http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=10666

Students sometimes find it difficult to conduct science experiments, especially if they are visual learners and have a difficult time with written or oral instructions. By using recordings of the teacher's instructions and student observations combined with photos of an experiment's progress, all students can review and observe what occurred. It's a great way to reinforce student learning and to share experiments with students who weren't there.
