I was never quite sure the benefits of using an Itouch in schools but it seems as if there are some pretty cool resources out there for them. I could definitly see the ease of reearching quick topics but there are some other cool apps for use as well.
Such as:
Planets App: Provides lots of interesting information:
•location of the sun, moon, and planets in the sky
•maps of stars and constellations
•rise and set time of the sun, moon, and planets
•current and future moon phases
•3D globe view of all planets and the moon
•facts sheet for each planet, including moon names
NASA - dynamically updated information, images and videos from various online NASA sources. Users can access NASA countdown clocks, the NASA Image of the Day, Astronomy Image of the Day, online videos
These apps would definitly be fun additions to the classroom but not really made for long term research or projects.
