Teachers to receive iPods to use in class - ROB NOVIT, Aiken Standard
Last year South Aiken High School teacher Sherry Shipes got an idea about using an iPod in her classroom as a technology tool to enhance her instruction. Public Education Partners, the Aiken-based education advocacy organization, thought her proposal was just right for its "Great Ideas" program. Shipes received a $350 grant to purchase a 30GB iPod. Now PEP is taking the concept to the next level. The AT&T Foundation has awarded the organization more than $19,000. PEP will provide iPod Touch models to 40 selected high school teachers, including all seven Aiken County School District high schools and the Aiken County Career Center.
