The iPod has already had an impact on the education community, but the advent of the iPod Touch  shows particular promise as a tool that could significantly improve the classroom.  iPods are a great way to deliver media contents to students to give extra review and practice to the students that need it.  The iPod touch takes it beyond the basic viewing and listening of media to add applications.  From using Internet resources, to communication applications it puts a vast amount of resources in the hands of teachers and students. 

In June Apple will release another update for the iPod Touch that will allow you to add a wide variety of applications to your ipod touch.  Although I can only speculate I would expect to see grade management, student management, and educational programs very soon after that.  This new expansion makes the iPod Touch a viable and valuable classroom tool.
