iTunes University

iTunes University could be a very useful way for students and teachers to communicate outside of the classroom. Also, some students may be more likely to get their work completed if they do not have to go to the school to do so. They can just pull up their assignments on their iPod or iPhone while at home, work, out with friends or even on vacation.
Although, if someone were not very computer savvy it may be difficult for them to get to the assignment and/or even complete it and submit it, if that needed to be done online. There are always advantages and disadvantages to the use of technology.

Week 8

Duke University intends to conduct an experiment with its freshman class using iPods. iPods are excellent for transmitting certain types of data from the teacher to the student but not really all that great if the teacher wants a response from the student.
An article from "Duke's Daily Newspaper says that most Duke students are planning on using their iPod for music storage and listening." The article continues in saying, "students will be able to use their iPods in the future to obtain materials, meant to enhance their learning experiences in the classroom."
