Ipods/ Week 11

http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2005/12/ipodupdate.html

Duke University expects many of it's students to bring along ipods to the classroom to inhance learning. Lectures and homework assignments are able to be seen on a student's ipod. Duke is participating in an experiement of new technological advances for learning in higher education. The freshman students in 2004, were given ipods for certain classes and since then the ipod usage has been an extreme hit.
I think that using Ipods in the classroom is a good idea. Many students own one anyway, and incorporating learning into them, will help them excel in their studies. I ,for one, would appreciate technological advances in our classrooms. Ipods are a great way to spread information and learning.
