Ipods In The classroom

In The Fall of 2004 school year Duke University Started distributed Ipods to around 1600 incoming freshmen to see how effective a tool they could be in helping them learn. The Ipods were used mostly in Forane languages, English, and Music classes. It was used for saving lecture notes, listing to music and other digital audio , and even recording lectures from the class.

I think that it is a good thing to use Ipods as a tool for learning. I think things like podcast, lectures, and music for a class would all be used more if it was made as portable as an Ipod is. The biggest problem that I see is trying to approval to use the digital content on the Ipod.
