At http://cit.duke.edu/pdf/reports/ipod_initiative_04_05.pdf I found some interesting information about Ipods, and their different uses. I personally have an ipod that is just used for music and videos; that's all i thought it was good for! At Duke, they use the ipod as a course content dissemination tool, classroom recording tool, field recording tool, study support tool, and for file storage and transfer.
Though there are many amazing ways to use this tool, there are some benefits and problems while using the ipod for those things. Some benefits are convenience and how it is an effective, easy tool to use. The problems are mostly technology problems which include lack of recording quality, and challenges with storage and file sharing, accessing and distributing the files.
Basically, the ipod can be used as a really cool informative tool to help kids study, as it can repeat lectures, and instructions, and it seems like a good idea that has worked for Duke University in many ways.
