Almost Synched (iTouch implementation)

Apps:
I spent the past several days selecting and downloading apps for our 20 iTouches.  Only three  left to sync.  Apps include a combination of paid and free.  The Volume Voucher Program requires you to enter a code into iTunes for every copy of an app you purchase.  Even though I used "copy and paste," it was a time-consuming, tedious task.  In general the iTouch screens are organized  as follows:

Home Page:
  • default apps
Kindergarten/1st Grade:
  • ABC phonics
  • Drawing Den
  • My First Words
  • 1 Fish 2 Fish (paid)

Naming the iTouches:
Each iTouch has been assigned a name and number which is engraved on the iTouch and shown on a label on the iTouch case.  There are ten male names and ten females; Laverne, Percy, Henry and Romona are a few of my favorite names.  There is also a label next to each slot in the cart for easy identification of placement of iTouches when returned.  To personalize the iTouches, I found clipart to go with each name, edited the clipart to add the name and number, and then set the picture as the lock screen on each iTouch.
