Using something as simple as this wiki - we can push our content out to our students and allow them 24.7 access to our classrooms. Read the scenario below, then we will brainstorm how we can use our iTouch in the classroom.

It was a mighty warm day on October 12, 2006 and I felt as if I could rule the world. I had just begun my 5th year of teaching and had finally felt as if the curriculum and I had become one. The students were beginning to gel and really get into all of the wonderful test prep that was to be the crux their lives for the next few months. As we were just finishing up a DBQ from the previous year, and I had pulled a few clumps of hair out along the way, we noticed that it had started to snow a little bit - big, heavy, wet looking snow. As we watched this serene scene, one of the cherubs I was teaching made the obvious comment "Snow day tomorrow!" To which I thought "I hope not, we still have a lot of test prep to do." Well, the next day was the now infamous October 13, 2006 and the rest is history. I am still not over the fact that we lost 6 days of test prep.

How could this scenario have been different if we had had iTouches? Let's see!
