I am going to try an experiment with my legally blind special needs child. I am going to use my ipod and audacity to record the chapter for the next unit, and see if he responds to it. My low-IQ behind reading level sighted students may benefit as well, but I only have one iPod to go around. Maybe I can convince my local wal-mart to donate to the cause. I would only need seven, and they wouldn't neccessarily have to be ipod touches,although a touch surface may help the legally blind child. I could use an ipod shuffle, its physical control interface is fairly rudimentary. Simple enough for them to stop, start, and adjust the volume.

I think this is a great idea. Some kids are harder to reach than others, especially those with disabilities. This would be a great way to engage the students while letting them use popular technology. Please let us know how it goes with this. I have a friend that may be able to do this with some of her FMD students.
My wife uses Ipods for her students during center time, and she is able to use them for all student levels. I think this is a great way to differentiate.
