Not surprisingly i pods are now being used for instructional use at universities. One example is Duke. They use them in conjunction with the DDI (Duke Digital Initiative). In using i Pods, students can store notes, pictures, audio and participate in podcasts with other students. The i Pod program has been scaled back from every freshman receiving a personal i Pod in its first year to all students currently enrolled in DDI courses receiving an i Pod.
An example of an elementary school using i Pods is Louisa-Muscatine Elementary School. The special education students use i Pods to take tests. They listen to the test questions as they see them on their i Pod and on actual test paper. It not only allows the students to work at their own pace, but also enables the special education students to work on their own and acquire independence. There are many examples of i Pod usage on this website:
