Apple Summer Learning Institute for Principals 2010 - Language Acquisition
The 3rd session I attended dealt with Language Acquisition. Very good presentation. The presenter showed some video clips of school using Apple tools to help ESL students. The iPod Touch apps we used were Pocket English ESL, Sentence Builder, and iTranslate Plus. We also used iTunes U content such as Lit2Go and an ESL Podcast.
The presenter also showed some built in functions that are available on a MacBook for free that assist with language acquisition.
I again left this session thinking how useful the iPod Touch is in a classroom setting.
