AN iPOD CLASSROOM?


In my opinion, i think that using an iPOD for lectures won't allow me to learn things much better than it would if I am lectured by teachers. Using iPODs to lecture students doesn't sound like a bad idea, but it won't work more effectively. If students have questions to subjects that they don't understand, where is a teacher that can answer all of their questions if they're listening to the lecture at home or somewhere else except school? If i try to learn by using an iPOD, I'm pretty sure that i won't be able to learn anything because i will be too eager to listen to music instead of listening to the teachers lecture me through an iPOD. This is the reason why i think that i won't be able to learn well using an iPOD. But i would still try and get an iPOD for myself instead of school. In my opinion, i think that if Mary Ward embrasses such technology for education, some students might do better in school. If we go to a seminar, we don't need to be taking notes the whole way, we could just listen to the seminar over and over again in our iPODs. It's also useful because students can review or rewatch the seminar again at home if they're having troubles understanding their lesson. But like i said earlier, some people might be too eager to just listen to music instead of using the iPOD for school purposes. The fact that students might be more eager to listen to music instead of listening to school seminars, is a disadvantage of our school to embrase such technology for education. This will put students off course of the path that they decide to choose.

yea lendl, i'me like yourself, if i was to learn using an ipod, i think i'd be too tempted to misues the ipod for music and such rather then actually use it for lectures, aswell it'll be hard to ask a machine a question.
