iPods in Instruction

I think Duke University came up with a great idea in adding iPods to their curriculum. One of the drama classes used iPods to create their own version of radio shows. They recorded their audios on the iPods and used audio editing software to add sound effects. I actually listened to one of the productions. It was really good. Some of the students used their iPods to record their pulse rates. Some downloaded class lectures so that they could listen to them on the go. Very Good ideas!
Another website that visited was Using iPods in Instruction. This is a research brief on this subject. Their findings showed that this is a great educational device. English Language Learners and foreign language learners have used this to record voice notes for themselves. Many students say they use iPods because it helps with the distractions. ADD and ADHD students say iPods help give them control. So yes, there ARE many uses for the iPod in the education environment.
