TILT: Technology Integrated into Learning and Teaching
Kimberley Ketterer, Ph.D. |
Our goal is to provide a quick-reference repository for teachers to facilitate the integration of technology into learning and teaching. The TILT web site is full of curriculum tools and examples of how these tools are used in the classroom. The TILT web site also contains technology tools and web tools to help guide teachers to efficiently use their hardware and software. For any Instructional Technology questions feel free to email Kim Ketterer, Misty Forsman or Mandi Hanson.

iPod and iPad use lithium-polymer batteries. These batteries will lose capacity over time. The worst thing you can do is store iPods somewhere hot, like a car in the summertime. It's also not healthy for lithium-ion batteries to be completely discharged. For healthiest batteries, store devices at about 80% charge over the summer (be sure to completely power down the devices over the summer as well).
