Iris,

I think that you might be going at it a bit backwards. Rather than  
using the tech because you have it, think about what you want to do  
and then think about the best technology to do it. Other questions  
that come to mind include: do you have wireless in your classroom? did  
you ask your students how many of them have mobile devices? There are  
many things you can do with mobile devices including but not limited  
to, recording voice/video/photos, polling, texting, etc. So, I think  
you might be better off looking at learning goals first and then if  
there is a need/opportunity where mobile devices will assist in  
learning, apply them. There are many iTouch specific apps but there  
are also just general internet apps that will work with any connected  
mobile device so you may find some flexibility in asking your students  
what they have with them in class.
