IPods are showing up in classes at Universities across the United States. Duke University was the first school to give IPods to their students and implement them in instruction. Duke started giving out Ipods in 2004. All incoming freshman received them at orientation. After that year, they were only given to students who enrolled in classes that would be using them. Students use the ipod for interviews, to record audio files, and podcasting. While some teachers don't find the use of Ipods, others are activly trying to incorporate them.
Chandler-Gilbert Community College, is also starting to use IPods. Through IPod use, administartors hope that students will engage in their classes. Students can download videos that they need to watch onto their IPods. I think the IPods are a good idea, so many are already using them. Since students use them in their everyday life, they are more likely to bring school work up on it.
