Students without the money to afford iPod or without internet access could request the podcasts burned onto CD-R.  It's not set in stone yet, but for a high school of about 130 students, it moves forward in technology pretty fast.  They're already using SmartBoards, which is a board that detects where the user is writing on it, and when calibrated with a projector properly, puts in the screen of a computer.  Too bad I graduated before they'll ever implement the podcasts though.  Our science teacher also said there is some program that removes some of the quiet parts of the speech in order to shorten the length of the lecture, so kids with short attention spans (and isn't that all of them?) don't have to listen as long, but get all the info.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brandon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2006 12:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPod has new role as educational tool]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</guid><description><![CDATA[@ Joe Smith, that's the kind of sick minded garbage that got you that negative star.<br><br>I think this is a bad ideam,  little Jimmy was listening to Cinderalla on his $400 ipod and he dropped it down the stairs, or spilled chocolate on it, or dropped it in water...etc]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Ed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2006 12:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPod has new role as educational tool]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</guid><description><![CDATA[ @#3: "Next thing you know, the iPod can shoot lasers."<br><br><a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/ibeams/index.php">http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/ibeams/index.php</a><br><br>:D]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shunnabunich]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2006 12:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPod has new role as educational tool]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think it would be a great addition when it comes to subjects like foreign languages.

It WOULD help for foreign language classes I bet though.  You can't use an entertainment device to study very well.  Think of high school kids, are they gonna study on the iPod or watch the latest "Lost"?  My HS spent nearly a million bucks on lots and lots of computers and we hated it.  This is yet another attempt by society to automate our eduation process.  Better education means more teachers and smaller classes, no amount of trying to make education fun or easier can ever compete with that.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Clay Coffman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2006 1:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPod has new role as educational tool]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</guid><description><![CDATA[Cool.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2006 1:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPod has new role as educational tool]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</guid><description><![CDATA[At BYU Hawaii we are in the process of installing iTunes Univeristy where teachers can control class content for students. The school has also begun puchasing iPod's for students to use. It is just another tool that allows students to get the information.<br>Interesting thing is the great divide between those faculty who think it is a great idea and those who think it is a waste of money. I suppose only time will tell if our project will work.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Skeg8]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2006 1:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPod has new role as educational tool]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/ipod-has-new-role-as-educational-tool/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a good step in the right direction.

So each "NEW" iPod will have one more feature that you "HAVE to HAVE".  Thus making him even richer.
