Using iPods in the Classroom!

This is an iPod!!


GROWING USE OF iPODS IN THE CLASSROOM! Duke University

^^^^^^^^I believe that we all must adapt to the growing changes in technology. The above site is by Duke University who have directly researched using iPods in education. Duke University gave away over 500 iPods which are capable of storing, not only music, but also books, video, pictures etc.

I personally love to use my iPod for more then just listening to music! The iTunes program, which is used for downloading music, movies, pictures, music videos etc, allows you to download all kinds of stuff. It may also be beneficial for children because they have programs you can download such as SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK (an educational television show that used to come on when I was younger that helped teach children all kinds of things in all subjects. Math, Science, Social Studies, & English!) Movies & television shows such as those on the discovery channel are available. Just about anything you can think of you can download to your iPod. iPods are verrrrrrrry beneficial.. & can be great as a teaching aid!!

The use of iPods at Duke has quadrupled in such a short amount of time. That is amazing.
