I have a 6th grade teacher who is looking for someone to skype with her class and discuss the Cholera outbreak in Haiti. If you know of anyone that might be able to help us out or point us in the right direction, please let me know.

The iTouch Language Lab...

How great would it be if you could get a language lab in your school for a fraction of the price of a traditional Language Lab and it could be used in any other subject in your school? It would be!

Well it is AWESOME, and with today's technology it is affordable...A lot more affordable than the tradition labs that can run up a bill of $70,000 or more, especially when you include the facilty space they require.

Any school can buy one of these carts from Apple and it will hold up to 40 ipods and sync them as well.

Now all you need is the know how, and you can be using this baby as a language lab. You have to check out www.bit.ly/theitouchlanguagelab On this site you will find everything you need to turn your ipods into a language lab.
