Duke University started a new pilot program this year examining a new way to use digital technology in a creative way. The program cost $500,000 to start and used the motto Attend School...Get cool stuff! They are going to create a special section on the apple website where students can download music, and most importantly course content, including lectures, and audio books.
The students will use the I PODS they receive throughout the year to download course work, field interviews as well as class lectures, that they may not remember or missed. This doesnt mean that if you attend Duke in the future you will receive a free I POD. This is merely a pilot program and they want to see if this really helps students. GO DUKE!!!
I love the idea of this its a great idea, lots of things come up and you may miss a class but being able to download the lectures will help tremendously and even if you were in class but cant remember half of it it will be right there on your I POD to listen to while your studying for an important exam. In the Elementary school I would use I PODS to help remember things like multiplication or the presidents by making up a song or just repeating them over and over again, then make them available to students parents so they can download them and learn along with us, the parents would be able to know what is really being taught in class and then help there children remember. This would really help with test scores!
