I came upon an interesting site where teachers in Zambia are using Ipods to enhance professional training in mathematics, science, and English. These Ipods are not your average, everyday Ipods, they are loaded with IRI lessons as well as with audio and video training in their presentation of complex topics.
Ipods also help the IRI team in Zambia address another challenge, how to convey concepts that are more easily explained visually. Using Ipods combination with a foot or solar-powered generator can also broadcast the lessons without being tied to the radio broadcast schedule.(http://les.edc.org/news.articles.php?id=262)
Duke University
Duke University is distributing apple ipods to its incoming freshman, as a part of an initiative to encourage creative uses of technology in education and campus life.
It will be preloaded with Duke related content, such as information for freshman orientation and the academic calendar.
Students can also download faculty provided course content, including language lessons, music, recorded lectures,and audio books. They will also be able to purhcase music through the site.(http://news.duke.edu/2004/07/ipods_0704.html)
