Reading, Writing and iPods? - Education - redOrbit
For those of you thinking about an inquiry project with a technology angle, the use of iPods and other MP3 devices in the classroom has become quite popular in recent years. This article from my Google News feed highlights a rurual district making use of the technology to support student learning:
iPods loaded with content In a place where not everyone has a home Internet connection or even a home computer, every student in grades three through eight has a personal school laptop to work on, and students in some grades get to take home iPods loaded with class content. Next year, the Le Flore County school district hopes to add a set of iPod Touch devices — essentially iPhones without the phone utility.
The technology is not there for looks. Students use it on a daily basis, and teachers make sure it’s used in a way that enhances the students’ education and not as a sanctioned distraction.
