How to convert a text file to an audio file to play in iTunes (and your iPad or iTouch).

Use Zamzar a free online file conversion tool. Simply browse to the document (.doc .docx. .txt .rtf) to select it, then click on the format you want it converted to (AAC, MP3, WAV, etc), enter your e-mail address and "convert". The converted file will be sent to your e-mail account that day. You will need to download it within 24 hours after you receive the e-mail notice.  Now you need to put the file(s) into the iTunes library. In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.  Hook up and sync the device. 

 

You can also use Zamzar to convert YouTube videos to play on your devices. Copy the URL of the YouTube video. Paste it into the Zamzar window that asks for the URL. Convert to iPod,iPad or MP4. Download the file after you receive the notice in your email. Put the file on your desktop or someplace "easy to find". Go to your iTunes playlist for movies. Go to File>Add to LIbrary (or control O), navigate to the file & click OK. Hook up and sync the device.

 

Do you want to lock your device so students can't delete apps? First update your device to OS 4 if you haven't already. In the Settings menu under General there are restrictions.  Activating this requires you to choose a pin.  From there you can turn on a restriction for deleting apps.
