Ipods in classrooms

when i first saw this assignment i thought how in the world could you use an I pod in your classroom but surprisingly I found lots of neat examples where teachers are using them on a daily basis, For example in New Jersey teachers are using I pods to help ELL students with English, the students will listen to the music, hear the words, and began to understand them.
Duke university will give 1650 Ipods to incoming freshman as part of initiative to foster innovative uses of technology. Duke will load orientation information, an academic calender, and even the duke fight song. The purpose of this is to allow students to download course content, record lectures,and, foreign language lectures.I think that this is a very neat idea i wish i had of gotten an Ipod when i enrolled at south.
