Ipods for the classroom

Just a thought here. What if Ipods were used for the classroom? Really. If Apple would donate used and refurbished Ipods to classrooms wouldn't that be great? These contraptions could be used for anything from audiobooks, podcasts, and tunes that correlate to a lesson that is being taught or has been taught. These Ipods could be used for the purpose of a podcast when students are studying the memoirs of various icons such as Ann Frank. They could also listen to book reviews to decide whether a book would benefit their report. Audiobooks on Ipods would be accessible and easily identified by students when they see the icon. Students could scroll to the icon and then click to listen and read along. Students could easily stop and play the audiobook in comparison to a cd playing on a radio. In addition, Ipods are the cd players of the new century, therefore students are probably are more aware how to use the advice. Ipods in the classroom for present day classroom.
