The Ipods have arrived and they DO look amazing. However, it is Thanksgiving week, so there is little point in sending them to the classrooms yet. Also, I'm still not sure of an easy way to load the mp3s onto them that I feel would work for most teachers. So I will be working on that in the coming weeks, and I'll hold off leaving the Ipods with the teachers until after the holidays. I'll go around and let them have some hands on time, but they are still getting used to following the steps to correctly saving and storing the mp3s. The immediate playback portion is very useful, but they aren't quite comfortable with saving the files when I'm not in the room (for some reason). I guess I need to take it slow for a bit so that they are ready for the next step, when we are able to take it.
I've really lost steam with the Ipods myself after waiting for so long and now finding frustration with iTunes just as I had feared. I think building on what is already working will help me re-energize as well so I can make a fresh push with the new year.
