Syncing an iPod Touch to iTunes
Syncing is from a Macbook to the iPods in the syncing cart
Sync occurs simultaneously
Each iPod must sync to the original sync computer. All group 1 iPods will always sync to the group 1 computer
iTunes Accounts iTunes is free software that allows users to
add, purchase and play media (music, video, apps, documents)
Media is available at no, low and high fees. Some fees are one-time purchase, others must be renewed each year.
A school iTunes account is necessary to download and update free or purchased media
iTunes supports many audio and video file formats and will convert many non-supported to supported formats.
Media must be authorized for and is limited to the iPods synced to a particular computer.

A determined student will delete or upload media.

iPods can be ‘cleaned up’- but it’s not easy!

Are iPods in the classroom a distraction? Perhaps. Pencils - now those are real distractions - always having to sharpen them, kids throw them, they write inappropriate notes with them, they can use them to cheat, they poke each other with them, they get pencil lead stuck in their fingers, they steal them, etc. I think we should ban 'em.
