Do you ever give the students the videos of themselves (VSM) on a portable device, such as an iPod Touch, to help them complete classroom work?
Answer
I have not handed the iPod Touch devices over to the children, mostly because my population is early childhood, first and second grade. Most of my children also have 1:1 aids. However, if you plan on working with older elementary or middle school-age children, who can be responsible with the devices, I think it would be a great idea.
