What happens when you give children an iPod Touch?

Posted on Sep 23, 2009 in Hardware, Useful Links | 0 comments

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Leon Cych at Teachmeet SUKE last week, and he was telling us about the great things he’d seen when a class of kids were given an iPod Touch each.

Here’s his video which shows more:

You can view the video at Blip.tv here. The movie was filmed at Burnt Oak Junior School, Bexley, Kent.

The class have been using a class set of iPod touches for a couple of weeks. The video interviews the class teacher, headteacher, and students about the experience.

What comes across is hoe motivated the students are when using the iPod touches and how quickly they adapt to the new technology and focus on learning rather than playing. You can read more about the project at Leon’s Learn 4 Life blog.
