[senit] ipods

hi , what's the most suitable model of ipod now for

Obviously it all depends on what you want to do with them, but if you  
can I'd go for the iPod touch. You've got all the strength of the  
video feature of the iPod Classic, but you also get the brilliant  
touch interface (including the intuitive multi-touch features like  
using two fingers to zoom). And web browsing via Wi-Fi. We got one  
recently for one of our classes, and the pupils seem to find it very  
easy to use.

In a way though, far more interesting than which model to go for, is  
the discussion about what you're going to do with the ability to use  
video, or combine visuals and sound. I'd love to hear what people are  
doing with iPods in their schools, literacy work with the pupil  
controlling scrubbing through the 'file', sequencing of still images  
with voice overs to explain, science experiments showing 'before' and  
after' that the pupil can go back over - what's everyone up to??
