Colleagues/

Apple has a great Web page on the 'iPod in the Classroom' 

[ http://www.apple.com/education/ipod/ ]

"iPod revolutionized music, and it quickly took over the classroom as a portable learning tool, allowing anywhere, anytime access to speeches, audio books, and lectures. Soon photos and podcasts expanded teaching possibilities, and, now, just a few months later, video is evolving the experience even further.

The opportunities are endless now for teachers to seamlessly create, organize, distribute, and access all kinds of learning materials. The power to learn is in your hands*witness the evolution of the revolution."

"A thousand words.
Digital photos make science experiments, social studies assignments, and journalism projects come to life. Yearbook and drama clubs rely on photography, too. You can transfer thousands of photos to your iPod or iPod Nano from iPhoto. Plus, upload photos directly from your camera to iPod*** using the optional iPod Camera Connector.

Class notes, not just musical notes.
Transfer text-based information to your iPod and read it onscreen. With the notes reader, news articles, classroom notes, even flash cards for spelling tests can be right at hand. You can even link audio files and notes files for enhanced audio/visual learning, and Podcasts allow students to subscribe to text, audio, and video curriculum materials right out of iTunes."
