ipods in Instruction

picture of a heart with ipods in it
iPods are becoming more and more popular in the classroom every year. Many students and teachers use them. I didn't know much about ipods until viewing this website and seeing all that it can be used for. I thought ipods were used only for music but they can be used in so many other ways.
In 2004, Duke University gave 1600 incoming freshmen brand new ipods. They did this in regards to their digital initiative. The students had access to many lectures and other helpful things through the ipods. The students could access their school information with their ipods. Many classes are now incorporating ipods in their classrooms. According to Duke University the results of giving ipods to their freshmen has been so great. I agree with this website about the use of ipods in the classroom.
