While performing my search for the use of ipods in the classroom. I found some reasearch by Duke University. The University's Writing Program directors are suggestiong the use of iPods to reflect on teaching writing. They suggested "using the iPod as an unobtrusice audio record to help writing imstructors capture and analyze classroom discussions of student writing and, with the help of colleagues and a senior writing faculty, improve their facilitation and leadership of those discussions". I believe this is a great idea. We should incorporate more use of iPods in the classroom.
Another site that I viewed was a website created by a Pre-K teacher. (Mrs. Levins)The title was Using iPods in the Early Childhood Classroom. This site involved many great examples and suggestions of use for iPods in instruction. A few examples of how to use iPods in the classroom are: Source of music, Listening Centers, and Podcasting. Music can be very useful in the field of instruction. Students seem to learn from a varity of different resources. Teachers could use iPods instead of regular cassette players or CD players. Her are some links in which you can find more information on iPods.
