There has been a new approach to using technology in the classroom over the last several years. According to the article found at Click Here, Duke University distributed iPods to all of its freshmen in 2004. Critics said this will be a distraction and will send the wrong message to the students. A Duke official stated, “The goal of the giveaway is education, not entertainment.” Some of the uses for the iPod mentioned in the article are to listen to assigned songs or audio clips in music or foreign language courses, record interviews in the field, and record lectures.
After researching other uses of iPods in the classroom, I found great suggestions on the Classroom 2.0 website. I have listed below some suggestions from the website from teachers around the world.
· Download audiobooks on iPods for listening centers
· Download lectures
· Download special recordings
· Create videos for download
· Students could create content based on class curriculum
· Research and writing
· Share and critique work
· Making podcasts
