iPods in the Classroom

I found a very informative website including lesson plans on the Apple website. I think that iPods can be very useful teaching aids in the classroom. For example, on an elementary level recording letter sounds would be reinforce the lessons taught in class. This would be great extra practice for ELL, special education students, or students who just need extra help.

In 2004 Duke University distributed free iPods to all first-year students. Since then, Duke University has changed this to only give iPods to undergrad students enrolled in specific courses that require iPods. The implementation of iPods in the classroom has been beneficial to students and faculty alike.
