iPods in Education


http://www.apple.com/itunes/

Earlier in the semester I posted a blog entry about iTunes U. While iPods are not necessary to view postings in iTunes U, they sure are a cool way to take your classes 'to go'! There is much debate about whether or not iPods belong in classrooms. Too many people, even educators (sometimes especially educators), see iPods simply as a distraction.

If one takes the time to check out these educational examples, instances, and plans for iPod implementation in the classroom, I can't imagine the argument could continue. The education possibilities for the iPod are endless - not to mention totally fun!!!

Educational iPod possibilities!

I was at a web 2.0 library workshop at Lycoming College last Friday. One of the poster sessions was about how a library is using podcasts and circulating ipods for various educational purposes. Pretty cool, actually.
