iPod+Nano

Ideas for iPod Nanos

 * [|Audio Scavenger Hunt]
 * Have students create an audio tour of historic landmark or school
 * Audio books- allow students reading below grade level to access text at their interest level
 * Fluency- Record students reading for fluency (note you will need a compatible accessory in order for the voice recorder to work)
 * Podcasts- find educational pod casts or create your own with your students.
 * Record students reading a buddy's writing so the writer can hear how it is really written.[|proofrevise.pdf]
 * Recording the steps of a science experiment
 * [|Image Sets]- save Power points as JPEGs and sync to the iPod

Audacity resources and tutorials

**LAME instructions:** Running the LAME file above (or on the CD given to you in training) will allow Audacity to encode a project as an MP3 file. The first time you export a file as an MP3 in Audacity the program will say it cannot find the LAME encoder do you want to find it now. You will click YES. Browse for the file by clicking My Computer>(OS) C:> Program Files > LAME for Audacity and selecting the lame file. You will only have to do this once.


 * Please note:** when you are working in Audacity and you save the file by clicking File> Save Project or Save Project As, it is going to save as an Audacity project file (.aup). This should be done while you are working with the file. A project file can be edited in Audacity. When you have a finished product you want to export as an MP3 or a WAV for use in iTunes and subsequently the iPods.

iTunes- This link will take you to the download page on Apple's website. Please note: that while the software has been approved for teacher use the download and the iTunes Store will continue to be blocked on campus until logistics with the internet content filter are worked out. You can download at home, or use the CD provided by your instructor to install.
