Here are 2 websites I searched for and found with information about how ipods are or were used in the classroom.

In 2005, Duke issued there students with ipods in order to conduct an experiment to see if they could be used in an educational manner. The ipods also had a voice recording feature. Majority of the students said they did use their ipod for educational purposes such as recording lectures and listening to recorded material to aid in foreign language classes.

Learning in Hand

This is “learning in hand ”,I found this website put together to show some uses for the ipod, iphone, and ipod touch. He showed the use for pictures to illustrate or display items talked about in class and countless other useful applications for student aid. It also give many interesting ideas for classroom participation and teaching aids to help integrate the whole class ( teachers, students, and parents) in to the technological learning.
