Ipods in the classroom
The Ipod is a multimedia player that can fit in your pocket. Most people use Ipods to listen to music, play games, or watch videos. Not many people have ever used an Ipod to take a test or a quiz in class. This new idea is not just limited to older students. Elementary students can benefit from the use of Ipods in the classroom. Some teachers have began put spelling tests or any other type of test on an Ipod. The student can listen to the reading of the test as they take it. Some students would greatly benefit from the hearing of the test, rather than reading it on their own. The students can pause the recording at any time if they are falling behind. Teachers can also have songs with no words playing for students who prefer to listen to calm music as they take a quiz or test. The Ipod can also help block out the outside noise of the classroom or hallways. If a school can't afford laptops for students, an Ipod could be the cheaper solution!
