According to Apple, the iPod was released in 2001. That seems like so long ago. Most teachers at South don't allow iPods in their classrooms but, when you think about the ways in which the iPod could be used for education, maybe they should. For one way, maybe you could download a lecture to your iPod and listen to it at your own pace. You could even fast forward and rewind it.
One school that is using iPods is Duke. You can check out http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1499533/20050404/index.jhtml?headlines=true for all the info on it. Basically, Duke gave their freshman iPods that were preloaded with Univeristy content such as calendars, and lecture information through a special Duke site that is modeled on iTunes. I think that it is a great idea, and more teachers should post their lectures to iTunes, that we could listen to at our own pace in order to help us study.
