iPods in instruction

Presently, an increasing number of professors at various universities and colleges are experimenting with making lectures and study materials available to students via iPods and other MP3 players. Some K-12 educators and schools have also started using the iPod to enhance their curriculum and to support learning objectives in content areas such as – mathematic, science, reading, foreign language, and
history among others.

Duke University was the 1st to provide iPods to all incoming freshmen.
About 75 percent of freshmen surveyed said they used the iPods for their academic work. Some of the most popular student uses included recording lectures, taking oral notes, and even using the devices to create electronic flash cards.
But at the same time, some of the students said that while the iPods have potential in the classroom, they are still underutilized. According to the survey both students and faculty said more specific ideas of iPod use in the classroom were needed. Some also complained of the inability to share files from iPod to iPod.
