Welcome to iTools and iTechniques...a wiki web page designed to collect cool resources, web links and other media that showcases how to use an iPod or iTouch device in education. We are especially committed to how these tools can be expanded from their traditional uses to those that can assist students with instructional and assistive technology needs. This site has also been developed to provide a digital storehouse for presentation materials and resources we've been sharing at various conferences.

Take a look at the unveiling of the iTouch.
