My E-Back:: iPod Touch Project Study with the Soaring Eagles
Project Overview: In September of 2009, Riverview Middle School will embark on a unique learning journey utilizing the iPod Touch as a learning and teaching resource tool. Two grade seven classes, one Immersion (28 students) and one English (25 students) will be part of the project including all subject teachers (5) involved with those classes. The focus areas are literacy, numeracy and science. A RAFT environment (Remote Access Field Trip) will be developed. Students and teachers will use the iPod Touch as a tool to extend, to enhance and to enrich their learning. Students on field trips will have access to internet to search, explore, investigate, experience, discover, collect data using probes and share it on a virtual collaborative platform; the Provincial Portal, so all students from the learning community can benefit from those resources. Students will find, develop and create information relevant to the subject and produce high quality curriculum work. This environment will expect students to communicate and collaborate with each other and they will be required to accomplish learning tasks and beyond. The realization of this project is based on a collaborative initiative involving many partners in the learning community. The partners are School District 2, the Department of Education, Riverview Middle School, Apple Canada, Red Ball Internet, University of Maine, and Chris Toy.
