Abstract

Abstract: This research was undertaken to explore and develop a pedagogical framework to support classroom teachers in using iPods and/or podcasting technologies in their educational settings. The overall project involved two elementary school teachers and explored how they incorporated and used the iPods within their classrooms in ways that were responsive and connected to the mandated curriculum outcomes. The results of this research showed greater student engagement with learning and evidence of sophisticated levels of critical analysis of texts for students of this age. The practical and theoretical implications of the findings of this study will inform the community of educators who are implementing iPods and other on demand technology into their teaching. This paper will spotlight the teacher who used peer tutoring as the focal point of the implementation of iPods in the classroom.
