I never thought of using Ipods in an instructional way before. That is something that is very interesting to me. Duke University decided to try these a few years ago. They gave their first year students each an Ipod for instructional use. There were doubts from students and faculty members that this would be very effective. They did get some positive feedback, but there was some negative as well. This was very interesting to read about.
On the site Successful Teaching: Ipods as Instructional Tools it seemed to look at using ipods in the classroom in a positive way. They thought that by using them that many good things could from using them. Using ipods as an instructional use offered many benefits for the students and the teachers. Also, by using ipods there were environmental benefits such as having to use less paper. One concern was if the faculty could use them correctly in the classroom. This is very interesting and I am eager to see if ipods will be used in the classroom.
