11.5 Things. Thing #6

I do not own an IPhone or an ITouch or and IMac. I have, however; played around with other peoples devices. I like the idea of having particular applications to do specific things. One only has to push the button of the app to access a certain vehicle for information or guided research or play. Rather than having to go to different websites, the application is already at your fingertips. I think that the library can use certain applications on ITouches to facilitate learning. Applications such as USAFactbook can give students immediate information on the U.S. states. GoogleEarth is a great application for geography. WeatherBug is great for science. NetSketch is great for art. In LemonadeStand, the students can run their own lemonade stand from advertising to sales, etc.
