Abstract
While mobile devices have become very popular for communication and entertainment, there is a lack of research about how these devices can contribute in educational settings. This chapter describes an effort to use iPod touch devices as a teaching tool in middle school English Language Learner classes. The authors explore the affordances of the iPod touch as well as the challenges of implementing an iPod based project so as to gain a better understanding of the potentials offered by mobile devices for learning purposes. The authors report in this chapter their research from the perspective of the teachers and the instructional technologist involved with this project, and then discuss future plans based upon the findings.
