It's a good thing I had already planned on using an iPod to hold all of the music files I use for class. When I was setting up my classrooms this year, I didn't even think to check to see if all of the CDs that go with the book series were in the room. Turns out one of the schools doesn't have any CDs in it! I couldn't believe it. There is no way I would be traveling around transporting CDs, so I would have had to use my iPod regardless. I realized quickly that I couldn't sync my iPhone with more than one iTunes library, so I had to dig out my old iPod mini that I acquired in 2004, the first year I was a music teacher. It's pretty ancient iPod wise, but it holds 4GB of music so I'm good for now. I just sync up playlists for the time being and take the iPod with me. I purchased iPod docks at Walmart, one for each of the two schools that I don't already have a setup for. At the third school I just play music straight out of iTunes on the computer and have a great pair of speakers. I'm going to save up to buy an iPod Touch with a ton of room on it to hold the entire library of music, but for now, I'm good. An old iPod mini is better than nothing and it's pretty much awesome.
Plus the kids love it. I get so many compliments on my little pink iPod with the dial on it.
