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!!
