(Here's the entry in the program: In Touch with the iPod Touch; Franziska Lys This presentation highlights an advanced German class in which students regularly used an iPod Touch to develop vocabulary and oral communication skills using the method of shared inquiry. Since the shared inquiry method is a group process in which participants explore together the meaning of a literary work, the iPod touch with its new features was an ideal tool to use shared inquiry for film and video material. During the presentation, the following tasks will be discussed, among others: learner-centered vocabulary development, building factual knowledge through shared listening, using visual information to encourage building opinions, and providing supporting evidence.) I suggest you drop her a note. And she's in your neighborhood, too!

We are looking for a small device that can connect to the internet and perhaps record students' oral production. It should be a device that can be easily set up by an instructor and passed out so that each student has one. (for example, each student looks up the whether of a different city) Do you have any experience with the type of instructional activities your instructors use such devices for?
