The data is purely anecdotal, but 34/34 pupils report that the iPod is not too small for Pages!
I tend to use the iPad in class to model and teach Pages but the pupils are producing some fabulous work and don't seem to be hampered by the size of the device. They are quickly learning how to use the different functions in Pages and are developing new skills fast. The results are slick and professional in appearance and far superior to similar work produced in Word or Publisher.
We all love the templates on offer and I find it useful to match specific success criteria in my lesson to a template. For example I can stipulate that a report must be illustrated with three pictures and direct the pupils to use Visual Report, a template with spaces for three pictures.
Pupils tell me that they love using Pages on the iPod. They don't think the screen is too small and they don't think the key board is too small. Their work completely supports this.
