Getting Started with iPod touch: 16 A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Sharing Presentations with iPod touch Another great feature of iPod touch is the ease with which you can share and view presentations that you and your students produce. For example, students could use a presentation to share their findings from a lab experiment, to produce flash cards for review, or to demonstrate what they have learned about a period in history. Using Keynote or PowerPoint, students can create slides with text, charts, tables, photos, their own artwork, and movies. They can record voiceover narration to go with their slides as well as animation effects and transitions to enhance their presentations. They can then send the presentations to iTunes from Keynote, then copy them to an iPod touch to share their creations. To share a PowerPoint presentation, you export it in the QuickTime movie format and then import it into iTunes and sync it to iPod touch. Connecting the iPod touch to a presentation device-such as a projector or television monitor-makes presentations incredibly portable.This is easily accomplished with an AV cable, such as the Apple iPod AV cable (sold separately). For more information, see "Accessorizing iPod touch" later in this guide.
