Could this just be the best new piece of technology that is available for geography teachers ?
A growing number of geography teachers are discovering the joys of the iPhone.
Increasingly, the ways that they use them in their geography lessons and fieldwork are also being added to blogs and other online materials, perhaps because teachers who own iPhones are more inclined to use technology in their teaching ?
Some examples of teachers who are using this include Ollie Bray, who has posted a series of useful tutorials on how he uses particular apps for the iPhone.
I would also recommend John Davitt's iPhone app: the RANDOM ACTIVITY GENERATOR, which is demonstrated here...

I have been doing some research into making quizzes and then sharing them with students. I'll be posting about in on www.geogalot.net over the next couple of days.

Look forward to seeing what you do with it...
Also use the decibel app to measure road noise - noise pollution, in the classroom also using a visualizer so all can see it.
Also think there is great potential for using as a teacher together with Twitter (I use Twitterific on the iPhone) for conducting primary research enquiries, however there needs to be a big enough network online at the same time. Maybe this could be prearranged before hand. Real-time data collection - 'What cultural impacts of tourism did you see on your last holiday?'
Also needs a school that do not ban mobile devices.
