Multimedia i fickan : Vägen till inkludering? / Multimedia in your pocket : A route to inclusion?

One of the essential needs of human beings is to be involved in a social context. The intention of this study was to see if the opportunity to have an iPod Touch, could make it possible for students with literacy difficulties to participate in the regular classes and if the implementation of iPod Touch in the school setting would result in informal learning outside the school. In this case study two pupils with literacy difficulties have been using an iPod Touch in their daily school activity. The pupils as well as their teachers have been interviewed about their experiences of implementing iPod Touch as a tool in the regular classroom teatching. The results indicate that iPod Touch can help students to be in inclusive education and that they use the iPod Touch outside school. Further the study also shows that the success of the implementation of iPod Touch depends on many factors, such as the teachers, the pupil’s literacy problems and access to a wireless Internet.
