Learning as a Way of Teaching

So, I have 10 iPods and 2 Macbooks at my disposal.  What shall I try first?

1.  A classroom podcast

2.  Creating spelling tests for various student levels

3.  Dictation practice

4.  Students record themselves reading and listening to themselves

5.  Video lessons for struggling learners (remediation through digital video)

6.  iPod Stations - listen to one lesson here, move to the next station

7.  Audio books (maybe that is too obvious)

8.  Put them in the hands of English Language Learners

9.  Students create alternatives to book reports (mock interviews of characters, stage a radio show interviewing characters from the book,etc.)

10.  Begin a student news program for making daily announcements rather than listen to the principal over the loudspeaker

The list can go on for a while.  I think this might be a good start.  Now if I can just get an extra 10 hours in a day……
