Week 11

I found that incorporating an Ipod in the classroom can be helpful and hurtful to some students. As for the research that was done by Duke University the Ipod can be used as a digital multimedia that is carried with each student on a daily basis, this can help the students by recording the lectures during class, and study groups etc. The Ipod can hold massive amounts of information. I found that it is most useful in music class for students, whom can study the different types of music instead of just one particular kind of music. Some students found the Ipod to be of great use in the classroom.

The Ipod study show there were lack of awareness or knowledge of how to use the Ipod correctly, and for academic use only. During Duke's study there were problems locating the commerical sources for the information. The Ipod is just the beginning of the technology that teachers and students are able to incorporate in their classroom and the technology will only grow from here.
