Does anyone know how to connect the itouch to a smartboard?

Not really…you can buy a docking station that has video out but only photo and video apps support this feature. Best just to put the iTouch under a document camera to show students.

I am so thankful to be working in such a great district. So many of my friends who teach for other districts are so envious of the support we have at LCISD. The iPOD touch is amazing. I would love for this tool to be at my students reach everyday whether it be math, science, or social studies! Thank you Dr. Randle and to all the CITS!!!!
