iPods in 3dom

Earlier this term we were selling chocolates in our school, raising money for the school. In 3dom we sold enough boxes to get five iPods in our class. We have got our iPods and we did a quiz and had a bit of a play, getting to know them. We are really excited to use them in class as learning tools. We made some rules for our iPods here they are...
