The ipod touch...

This class we spent a considerable amount of time getting to know the ipod touch in greater detail. After some time spent using the device I felt fairly competent in using it. Overall, the ipod touch seems fairly user friendly. Adding categories was rather straight forward and once you work through it once or twice it becomes routine. Changing the size of the icons and moving an icon from one location to another was a little more complex, but after some practice it seemed to go fine. I liked the point made about the number of layers within the ipod touch being dependent on the cognitive ability of the user...this is an important point as it might be easy to set the device up based on the desires of the teacher or other adults involved. I have no doubt that I will need some guidance as I work with the ipod touch in the future, however, I do feel fairly comfortable with the device at this point.
