It seems that everywhere you look, you see people with headphones in listening to an iPod. The iPod is a MP3 player produced by Apple. It is one of the most popular pieces of technology on the market today. It is widely used by children and adults alike, but can it be used in the classroom? Duke University seems to think it can. In 2005 the Duke Digital Initutive program was introduced. It provided freshmen with an iPod in an effort to enhance the learning process. It contains information about orientation and classes.
This is one of the best examples of technology in the classroom. The introduction of iPods to further the distribution of information in a school is one of the best ways to utilize current technology. I think that this is a great idea on the part of Duke University, and I think that universities around the country should get on board.
