interviews, reenactments, etc.  We use them for poetry readings, fluency work for literacy, etc.

• Videostreaming can be added to the iPod Touch as well; use in a center, or for review, remediation, or I have seen it used as a way to gather information and compare/contrast by watching several clips about the same topic

• If you have wi-fi, Internet access, especially to fill out google surveys for assessment and information gathering, or  graphing examples
