If your classroom is a language lab with AV input in the teacher's console, you can just use an AV cable (previous slide) to connect your iPod into the LL system.

Likewise, if there's a TV in your classroom, you can just use an AV cable to connect to the TV, and rely on the TV's speakers for sound.
