My 2nd graders had a great experience this school year by meeting with a 3rd grade class who taught them how to use Ipods for various learning activities. We first had discussions on responsible use of the Ipods and how to use them carefully with their 3rd grade partner. They loved reading books out loud while the partner recorded it with the Ipod. The 3rd graders were then instructed to teach my 2nd graders the various games to practice math and reading. The 3rd grade teacher that I was working with did have one student use the Ipod inappropriately, which was a reminder to me that even though we are working with young children, safe and responsible use cannot be understated when using technology.
Good point: safe and responsible use is so important 100% of the time--especially with technology!
