This project demonstrates how iPods can be used to create an individualized testing experience for students.

[] According to Robert Craven, education technology coordinator for the Orange County Department of Education in California, iPods offer astounding possibilities for education. Administrators can record meetings, administer professional development activities, and keep contact information for every student and faculty member in the district. But the real benefits are for students, who use iPods to count calories, to record themselves reading, to make podcasts—even to get to the moon. School CIO asked him to elaborate on the popular gadget’s possibilities.

[] With the ever growing amount of iPod owners, most being younger people still in school, the iPod is a great tool to use in the classroom. Apart from getting your students to think you’re cool for owning an iPod, there are other ways for it to be put to good use. From foreign language class, to music class, to even art history and more, the iPod is making a big hit in the classroom.
