iPods Gaining Acceptance as Educational Tools

The New York Times has an interesting story about how iPods are being used more and more in bilingual classrooms.

For example, a school in Hudson County, NJ has been “handing out the portable digital players to help bilingual students with limited English ability sharpen their vocabulary and grammar by singing along to popular songs.” Meanwhile, the Union City district will give out 300 iPods at its schools as part of a $130,000 experiment in one of New Jersey’s poorest urban school systems, according to the report.
