Podcast Reflection #7: New iPod touch (Tony Vincent)

This week I listened to Tony Vincent's podcast. He talked about how he had gotten the latest iPod touch, and he compared it to the older versions.

The coolest thing about the new iPod touches is that they have a microphone built in. I think that is a huge advantage. You can easily record a podcast for your students with an iPod touch now. Another thing he said about them is that they take very good pictures, but they don't have a key element that iPhone 4 and iPads have...IPS. IPS stands for in-plane switching, and it has to do with the coloring of what you are looking at.

Tony Vincent does podcasts to teach teachers how to use iPods, iPads, and iTouches in the classroom. I think that is very helpful to many teachers. I have an iPod. I would love to be able to afford an iPad, but I don't know much about incorporating it into the classroom. I think it is good there is someone out there to easily explain these concepts to teachers.
