Ipods and laptops can be used in the classroom for various educational purposes such as math games, reading activities, social studies and science work, language arts practice, and assessment. Wordle and interactive whiteboards allow teachers to create engaging visual representations of text and easily direct students from anywhere in the classroom. Document cameras are useful for taking pictures, projecting to an overhead screen, freezing images, and delivering instruction or presentations.
