itunes university

It is a free tool that allows instructors and administrators acsess to educational audio. This is designed for students within a college or a university using itunes store.The tool is easy to use. It can be used to capture audio of core lectures.

Im not sure how I feel about itunes university. Im not very familiar with all the functions of itunes so im not sure how useful it would be for teachers and students.However based on what I read it sounds like a very useful idea.

Duke using ipods

Duke university began passing out ipods to the incoming freshman as an experiment.
The sucsess seemed to be high. The students were able to download things on to their ipods which were useful to them in the classroom.They even began to use things such as the alarm clock settings to wake themselves up for class.
I honestly have mixed feelings about using ipods in the classroom. Personally I do not own one myself.I am not sure what the long term benifits would be.I really didnt know ipods had some of the capabilities the mentioned.I will probably have to research this topic further before I can have a response.

international school #2

here is a link to this blog. IT is really hard finding international blogs but here is a spanish 1 and two teacher that uses blogs. I found her blog very interesting she describes her classes and personal stress in he blogs. She also has a whole list of things about herself in them.There wasn't any picture on her blog that I could post.

the future

I still hold the same opinion that I had after reading the first article.Technology is taking the place of reading and writing. Americans are stedily becoming more dependent on technology that often we dont think for ourselves.Reading is no longer an intrest and this makes writing difficult.
I do agree with what Dr.Strange is saying.Technology is advancing and changes are going to happen.We will just have to adapt and move on with our lives.Reading and writing skills may not be as much of a priority for educators as things like computer skills and programs.
I do not completly agree with the direction technology is taking us but Im willing to adapt. Times are changing, and I might as well change with them.Don't get me wrong I believe technology is good in many ways.I myself am one of those technology dependent individuals.I rely on calculators and enjoy a good telivision show from time to time. As a future teacher I would like to consider reading still an important aspect of education.
