iPod Projects Update

AAPS has distributed a number of iPod Touches for instructional use. An application and evaluation process is in place to ensure that the instructional priorities for using these new tools are identified and a forum is in place to assess their application for instruction. These allocations encourage and support AAPS staff interested in exploring and promoting effective instructional uses of the iPod Touch. Each project focuses on instructional or professional development use of the iPod Touch.
