Handheld Learning
Students are already coming to school with portable computers and devices such as iPhone and iPod in hand. So they’re used to gathering information on the web, getting their email, watching lectures, getting directions or pinpointing exactly where their friends are - anytime and anywhere.
Today’s students expect constant access to information - in the classroom and beyond. Which is why more and more faculty are using iTunes U to distribute digital lessons to their students. And now, with the 3.0 software update for iPhone and iPod touch, iTunes U is directly accessible over both mobile and Wi-Fi networks through the iTunes Store.
iPod nano and iPod classic
iPod nano, the world’s most popular music player does so much more than just play music. Educators and students can use the built-in video camera and mic for projects. They can store hundreds of hours of audio and up to 16 hours of video programming on an iPod nano, and even more on the 160GB iPod classic.
Both models offer sharp, beautiful displays - a 2.2-inch widescreen display on the iPod nano and a vivid 2.5-inch display on the iPod classic.
iPod touch
iPod touch is a great iPod but it’s also a great pocket computer with Wi-Fi acces and the ability to surf the web and send and receive email. With its 3.5-inch widescreen display, iPod touch is great for watching video podcasts and lectures from iTunes U. And with the thousands of educational applications available on the App Store, there’s almost no limit to what you can do with an iPod touch.
iPhone
iPhone 3GS is a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod and a breakthrough Internet device, all-in-one product. Plus it’s the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet. The built-in video camera and mic are perfect for shooting video for class projects, and the large 3.5-inch widescreen display is perfect for watching them. Internet access via Wi-Fi and your data network allow you to stay connected no matter where you are.
iPhone also benefits from thousands of third-party web applications and native iPhone applications, many of which are made specifically for education - all available on the App Store. The free iPhone Developer University Programme can help you and your students learn how to create your own applications.
