Wow moment: Experiencing the iPod Touch Processor and Interface!
The touch processor lets you fingers move from place to place matching what your fingers are doing with what is happening on the screen.
Although the “touch- technology” is not new, its inclusion in a small device facilitates kids’ work and motivates new discoveries. It is perfectly suited to stimulate and satisfy the normal curiosity of kids.
Portable devices such as the iPod or iPhone will be playing an increasing role in education at all levels. The accessible audio and visual content presented in an attractive and conveniently sized package fosters an accelerated growth of educational content.
Nevertheless, the relative high cost of these tools may still impede wide access to low income parents and kids. This is an issue that requires further analysis and discussion in a society that promotes social inclusion and the widespread use of technology.
