Three Oregon schools will begin using iPod Touch devices to help facilitate classroom learning this fall. Students at Ashland High School will use the devices in science class, while students at two elementary schools will use them to improve their reading skills. “We really are rethinking what we’re doing with technology,” the district’s superintendent said, “This is something that will be more affordable for us than regular computers and get us closer to the one-computer-for-every-student goal we have.” Ashland Daily Tidings (Ore.)

Wesley Fryer has a very interesting post today about his six year old, iPods and books. It is worth your time to read.
Over the years our family has purchased various iPod models, and we tend to pass them down by age. Currently, this means my six year old daughter is the proud owner of a 2 GB second generation iPod Nano purchased in 2006. That was payment for her sister’s work (who was then about to enter kindergarten) in helping me lead a multi-day workshop about podcasting with Garageband for teachers in College Station, Texas. Although Rachel is VERY cognizant of her iPod’s limitations (it won’t play videos) she is also VERY proud of it and loves to use it. Being in a family of readers who not only read paper books and eBooks, but also listen to AudioBooks, Rachel has naturally decided she wants to listen to AudioBooks as well – and she recently realized should COULD do that on her iPod Nano. Last night she announced her desire to buy some AudioBooks in advance of an upcoming car trip to visit family in Kansas, so we explored the iTunes Store together and discovered two suitable titles which caught her interest.
