Do we want to show examples of how to use these apps first?? Should we show them apps for elementary school but have them use higher level apps for the lesson (they won't already know the material)?

Maybe we could show a video of iPad's being used in the classroom? - Nicole

There is an app for translating. A lesson could be created where the groups within the class would be provided sentences that they need to translate from a different language into English. The groups without the ipod would need to use a language dictionary to translate. Due to the time frame, I think we should demonstrate this technology for the class versus watching a youtube video; I found a couple about smart phones in the classroom, however they were very lengthy.
