Music teachers are praising the iPod for their classrooms.
A teacher calls his blog in an iPod world.
Elementary schools have systems developed for how to incorporate iPods into basic education.
The concept of using iPods as study tools is not new. Since the introduction of mp3 players, tools were being made to utilize them beyond their music potential. It's no different than the TI-83 calculator that could whimsically do twelve other applications, including the wonderful game of Tetris.
The iPod allows students to do more than listen to music. As a media tool, it offers students the ability to have a computer in their pocket, benefiting from today's entertainment technology in new and interesting ways. For an online student, an Internet-ready iPod could allow going to class without the laptop; check your e-mails from the comfort of your handheld device.
