In fall 2006, a hot team investigated an application created by Talking Panda called iWriter. iWriter allows you to create interactive games for the iPod. The team also discovered you could do quite a bit more with it.
The hot team found that iWriter has potential to enhance the educational experience in a great number of disciplines, from foreign language instruction to science and technology. iWriter provides the opportunity for educators to quickly and intuitively create rich instructional media where using a mobile platform like the iPod might be beneficial. In an age where such mobile devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the simplicity of iWriter and the iPod interface is a refreshing combination that can be applied to many situations.
