In this weeks assignment we were instructed to research itunes and how it is used throughout schools around the country. I had a lot of fun viewing all the different articles and study programs that are offered through itunes. I think it is a great way for students to become more involved in their studies as well as take pride in their school! I wish South Alabama would have a program like this!
When I was researching universities that had this program, there were tons. Sanford, Berkley, and other univerites use these educational podcast. Students at these colleges can pretty much look up any topic from their coures or school newspaper to learn more. This is such a great way for students to learn more and have fun with it! Below is just one of the many links I found about itunes in schools!

Week 9 Assignment
After reading and listening to the different sites for this assignment, I was not that shocked. Most people would just assume that internet sources like Wikipedia are reliable, but a lot of times this is not the case! The fact that anybody can get on Wikipedia and change the contents of a certain subject just based on what they think or trying to make others look bad is rediculous. After listening to the NPR episode about this issue, I will definently rethink using Wikipedia for information in the future!

Week 11 Assignment
Every week I am more amazed with all the different technology advances that have been made in recent years. Throughout this course we have researched some of these advancements. One of the newest items on the market is Apple's portable media players. the iPod.
The iPod has been around since 2001 but today there are various versions (ex: ipod mini, ipod touch, ipod shuffle, etc.). As an iPod can transfer music, pictures, and other media items there are also suggestions about iPods. When I was researching, I found different websites that displayed their different suggestions for future iPods. Below is one of these sites.
Many different schools and universities are somehow incorporating iPods into the curriculum. Duke University has taken on this great idea of using iPods in class. By using iPods students at Duke are able to use it as a study support tool and a classroom recording tool. I think it is a great way for students to learn as well as practice new technology!!
