Class members create digital stories on iPods
Caller Times - English students learn with device. Forget dictionaries and textbooks. Moody High School sophomore Luis Sandoval uses an iPod to learn English.
Sandoval, a Mexican national who has lived in the U.S. for a month, recently used the device to create a documentary for his English class.
“It’s really neat to get to use technology and learn at the same time,” Sandoval said. “I like to download photos and audio.”
Since August, English-as-a-Second-Language program students at the five Corpus Christi Independent School District high schools have used iPods to learn English. The devices are used for viewing, listening to, and creating digital stories, as well as downloading educational materials.
The iPods are part of a $25,000 grant AT&T awarded to CCISD in the spring. About 50 iPods have been distributed at the campuses. Each high school has received different numbers of iPods based on the number of the program’s students on each campus.
