Week 11

As the world becomes more dependant on technology there is something new always discovered to be used as an educational device. Almost every teenager owns an ipod. Ipod has became an household name in the past couple of years. They have discovered while using podcast a teacher can put powerpoint presentations and lesson plans for the students to download and view. The ipod can also be helpful to students learning a second language, while listening to their ipod they can follow along in their books. Students can also review for tests while looking through powerpoint slides.
So many things can be created and used with the ipod, such as multimedia lessons, simulations, and key notes. Duke University has used ipods to help their college students learn since 2004. They started giving all of the new students ipods in 2006 free of charge. It has greatly helped there learning ability and has givien opportunities to continue studying outside of the classroom.
