At Duke University, iPods seem to be an extension to student's bodies much like cellular phones. In selected courses students are given an iPod for educational purposes. Students are able to record lectures, take oral notes, and have language-training recordings. The faculty reported there was a greater interest in lectures,field research, and independent research projects with the iPods being provided for students.
I believe that iPods will be an essential tool in my classroom. They will make learning fun and more interesting for the students. Not only will the students be able to capture academics on the iPod, but also music and videos they enjoy in their spare time. The most impressive and necessary tool I believe is the oral note taking. This feature will create a review of the daily lessons for students, and they can listen to it while they are doing chores, or even riding the bus.
