When looking up information on instruction and ipods I decided what better website to go to than the apple site. There was a 41 page document on why to use ipods in education and I really was interested in what all they use it for. It seems to me like using an ipod in class would be very helpful. There is such an ease in having all your documents needed to pass out, all the audiobooks you want the students to have, and also the lectures you think are helpful to be in one area for the student to access them.
I think one of the best things about the ipod and education is that the children will have all of the lectures on the ipod to go back and listen to. So many times have I wanted to go back in time and listen in on a lecture when studying for tests or quizzes and now with the ipods they have it in their hands to listen to whenever. This would also be helpful with students who get ill or have to miss class for any reason. They could listen or even watch a lecture that they missed and keep up with the class.
The link to the pages I found this information is:
