=Ideas=
 * Mr. Mundahl:** I think teachers could use the iPod to keep up to date on their calendars using the [|iCal application.] For example we could share the Husky Planner on iCal and everyone would have it on their iPod Touch.


 * Kyd**:Actually I don't know more about [|iPod Touch].The one thing that affect me a lot is iPod are made by lots of high-tech. Such as get on the Internet everywhere,hand-writing on the screen. I think teachers may teach us many things about technology, compare some softwares with computer, that will let us know more about.


 * Conner Redman**: The one thing for certain that I believe, and that is that having an Ipod touch cannot hurt or make things worse. Teachers could use the [|notes application] for little reminders and ideas that they have in their head and might forget before class.


 * Lukas G:** I think that if every teacher would have an iPod touch they could look things up in the internet if they are not sure if they are saying the right thing or aren´t sure about a formular. And an iPod touch got although a good [|calculator] so matheteacher calculate some things with the iPod touch and wouldn´t need to buy an expensive calculator.


 * Sergei**: Teachers can use iPods to play audiobooks and speeches that they would normally have to read. The advantage of the audio is that it will give the class a chance to listen to the tone of the speech or hear how a reader articulates and emphasizes a certain point. [|A Duke University Study] talks about iPod use in the classroom in further detail.


 * John**: I think teachers main use for a ipod touch would be to back up there own files. [|Uses for ipod touch] The touch would help teachers keep more organized by using the calendar and dates. The teacher could also check it out to students so they could get a feel for the technology.

and make our ipod touch more powerful.
 * Chris:** I think teachers will use [|wi-fi] function most frequently.We can easily get on internet by using ipod touch. We can add lots of softwares in ipod touch


 * Winslow**: As conner said, I think using notepad would be very good for teachers to organize their different classes and homework assignments. I have used notepad to write down songs I might want or things to remember to do.


 * Morgan**: I believe teachers should use an ipod in class because they can keep everything better organized and be on top of what they are doing in the class and outside of class. A teacher can also record and make podcast of their lectures and put them up on a website so the students can have [|them.]


 * Qiutong**: I think teachers should have a iPods because I have a iPhone and I know it san use wireless and check e-mail. Lucky, our school have internet all over the campus which is mean teachers can check at anytime that also good for students.


 * Paul Piscitelli**: I think that all students and teachers should have an Itouch like [|Brewster], because we all need to check our [|first class] our first class email account regularly so we can be up to date with every thing happening on campus. when we also need to look something up in the middle of class we can pull it up using safari on the Itouch and look it up on the internet. We could also take a quick note when we need to rember certaint things that are happening on campus. I also argree with Mr, Mundhals Idea on using Ical. all of the teacher would be able to run their power points at school meeting with out having any trouble.This would make all of the troubles that we have at school meeting go away. the teachers and students would be able to comunucate better.


 * Mr. Mundahl:** What if we wrote some custom applications for NHS - like what if teachers could easily take attendance by touching their student's picture? Would this result in more class time because teachers wouldn't have to hand write attendance?


 * JAKE KILEY:** This could be a big help because if a teacher is asked a question that he or she doesn't know they would search it up then and there, it would be a way for the teachers to basicly have a dictionary with every fact on everything there is.
