I Pods in the Classroom

The electronically savvy child has become a staple in modern society. It is indeed a common sight to see students who are constantly wired on electronic devices such as the iPod. Interestingly enough, many educators are taking advantage of this technological revolution and harnessing it for use in the classroom.

The most education friendly aspect of the iPod is by far the podcast. This feature allows teachers to post lecture notes, assignments, presentations, concept explanations and examples, and homework on down loadable podcasts. This allows students to have access to learning aids in and outside of the classroom. The podcast also provides a link to news and current events outside of the classroom that can be related to classroom activities and discussions.

In conclusion, the iPod has the capability to connect students to education and education to the world that students live in. For some examples of how to use iPods in the classroom, CLICK HERE.
