Getting Started with iPod touch:
A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning
Managing iPod touch and iTunes
for Student Use
This section provides suggestions for how to best to manage iPod touch and iTunes
in your classroom. Because iPod touch is designed to be paired with one computer or
user account, the way you use iPod touch in the classroom may determine how you
decide to set up user accounts on the computers.
Getting Students Up to Speed
Most students will not need instruction on how to use iPod touch, but you might
want to review specific items such as how to access different types of content and
how to start and stop an audiobook or a movie. Students can take a guided tour of
iPod touch by going to
www.apple.com/ipodtouch/guidedtour
,
or you can attach a
projector to a computer to show the guided tour to the whole class. You also may want
to demonstrate to the class how to use iTunes and the other applications they will be
using, such as GarageBand for creating a podcast.
Management of iPod touch in the Classroom
There are different scenarios for managing the use of iPod touch in the classroom,
which vary depending on whether each student is assigned his or her own iPod touch
and on how you manage syncing of content.
Each Student Has His or Her Own iPod touch and iTunes Library
With this scenario, each student is assigned his or her own iPod touch and also
maintains his or her own iTunes library, either on a computer assigned to that student
or on a shared computer (see “Setting Up Student Groups and Accounts”). Students
then download, manage, and sync their own content to the iPod touch device.
Each Student Has His or Her Own iPod touch and Syncs to a Shared
iTunes Library
With this scenario, each student is assigned his or her own iPod touch and syncs from
a shared iTunes library on a computer or over the network. Students manage their
own syncing and may use customized settings on their iPod touch to sync only certain
content from the iTunes library, such as specific podcasts, applications, or playlists. (See
“Adding Content to iPod touch Using iTunes.”)
