ipod touch!!

When my younger brother bought a new mac laptop for college, he had the opportunity to get a free ipod. I am SO lucky to have the best little brother ever, because he gave it to me because he knew I had broken my old ipod.  After a few months of playing around with it, I got bored of it-- it seemed difficult to use and was too big for me to jog with it. Now, after reading this article, and seeing the presentation in class, I have found so many new uses for the ipod touch! I really enjoyed the section about how to integrate them in the math classroom (the subject I want to teach)! I think that using an ipod touch as a graphing calculator is a great idea-- graphing calculators are SO expensive and required for upper level math classes. If the money spent on the calculators was spent on ipod touches instead, students could use the graphing calculator application as well as applications for other classes. Graphing calculators are the same price or more expensive that ipod touches. What high schooler wouldn't rather get a new ipod instead of a calculator??!
