Learning games for the iPod

Apple just released a new game for the iPod called iQuiz (iTunes link). It’s got four built-in games, but the potentially cool part is the ability to create new quizzes for it.

I’m not sure iQuiz is a compelling enough reason to buy an iPod on its own, but it’s a slick bonus if you’re already working with them in your school. There’s already a collection of user-contributed quizzes collecting at the Apple Learning Interchange. I think I’ll plop down $0.99 for iQuiz so I can give it a try.

My big question at this point is whether you can distribute iQuiz quizzes in a podcast feed. Anyone tried it yet?

Heading out for NSBA

I’ll be in San Francisco this weekend for the National School Boards Assocation annual conference. I don’t think I’ll be doing any podcast recording, but I’ll be hanging out at the Apple booth talking with people about podcasting. I’m working the morning shift on Saturday and Sunday, and I’d love to talk to anyone who cares to stop by.
