Wikopedia

One comment about using wikopedia would be to definitely warn against using Wikopedia for a report especially if you are looking for factual information. I would definitely not use Wikopedia unless there was some change in the way access is allowed or these companies and parties are allowed to change information regarding anything available in Wikopedia. Hats off to the man, Mr. Grifith who has discovered a way to track changes to IP addresses. Something should definitely be done to stop false statements in Wikopedia. So glad to have the heads up, I will pass this information along to colleagues.

iTunes University is a valuable resource made available to educators and education organizations. Makes it easier to download, search and play educational material, shows, etc. Possibilities are endless here, including autimated lecture capturing, audio with slides or images. Teaching will be a totally different way with all we have available at our fingertips.

Using iPods In Instruction

The iPod allows portable access for students as well as recording capability, such as recording interviews, songs, lectures, etc. The iPod can also be an effective tool used to support students with study having the capability of repeated listening as well as storage and file transfer capablities. Students at Duke University have the opportunity now to take advantage of all that the iPod has to offer through the school. This tool will be very effective for classroom use in any setting.
