Ipods in my Preschool Classroom
by Amanda S
I use ipods daily in my classroom. The children use them independently in three centers. I have a classic ipod in my music center. All the songs we sing are loaded so they can sing along or play instruments with the music.
I have two nanos in my listening center. The kids use the cover flow option to match the picture with the story they want to hear.
I use ipod touches in my small group instruction center. We use them for learning to count, write letters, and even to learn to spell our names. I am currently looking for an app that covers rhyming skills that is mostly pictures if anyone has a suggestion.
My kids LOVE them. We always have a waiting list on the days the ipods are used in small group. Some great apps for young children are:
