À propos
The 'Itouch in education' mind map template outlines 20+ practical applications of an iPod Touch (iTouch) as a learning tool in classroom settings. Covering categories from mindmapping and notemaking to scientific calculators and curricular tools like 'seismometer', 'chemical touch', and 'star walk', this template serves as a quick-reference cheat sheet for educators and students. It also includes cost considerations ('Cost is approx £130 for 8GB') and highlights the device's role in building a 'personal learning network' and supporting 'PLTS' (Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills). The template is organized as a radial mind map with branches for each use case, making it easy to scan and customize.
