Getting Started with iPod touch: 20 A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning Notes With Notes, you can easily add, read, and revise notes that appear onscreen on a yellow notepad. If iPod touch is set up for email, you can also email notes that you've created. Notes can be used for to-do lists, for taking notes as students work on collaborative projects, at staff meetings and field trips, and more. And because you can copy and paste text with iPod touch, you can copy text from a webpage or an email and add it to a note. To add a note, tap Notes, then tap the Plus Sign. When you are finished typing the note with the keyboard, tap Done. Tap the envelope at the bottom of the screen to email your note. Tap Notes at the upper left of the screen to view all of your notes. Calculator iPod touch includes Calculator-you tap the onscreen buttons to enter figures and perform calculations. Calculator makes it easy for students to keep track of their calculations-when you tap the add, subtract, multiply, or divide button, a white ring appears around that button to indicate what operation is selected. When you rotate the iPod touch, it changes to a fully functional scientific calculator with dozens of functions. Mail The Mail application can be used to receive and send emails when the iPod touch has joined a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet. The email account settings need to be added to iPod touch Settings or in the iTunes iPod touch preferences pane. You can send and receive photos and graphics that have been sent as part of an email message and can view attached PDFs and other files. Calendars To keep track of important dates or school schedules, you and your students can use the Calendar feature of iPod touch. You can enter and edit calendar events directly on iPod touch. You can also create calendars with iCal (included on every new Mac) or Outlook, such as a class calendar with due dates for projects, school holidays, field trips, and other school activities, and then sync the calendar to iPod touch to share with the class. To view the calendar on iPod touch, tap the Calendar icon. Clock You and students can use the Clock application to see what time it is in other parts of the world, to set repeating or one-time alarms, and use a stopwatch and timer. To use the Clock application, tap the Clock icon, then tap World Clock, Alarm, Stopwatch, or Timer to use that feature.
