Using Ipods in Instruction

A stick figure of a little girl holding her arms apart with the writing above her her that says I wish love and peace for everyone.
I thought that when I went looking for uses of iPods in education that I would find plenty of uses for them in higher education, middle, High School and of course College. Duke had a great article in their library about uses for iPods and how so many students already had them it only made since to incorporate them into to class. What really amazed me was that I found a website telling how iPods are used for Pre-k. At first I thought this too much, children this young should not be using iPods. But why not?


Children are very capable of learning computers and what ever else you put in their hands to do. It actually maker better since to teach children when they are young so they are not behind in the classroom and hinder their education the website had tech savvy ideas for teachers to use in the classroom to enhance the learning experience and keep learning.

Wikipedia is a popular, pop culture site that if you are in your teens you may feel is a reliable source, as a college student you should know better.

Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?

No,No,No, there is no way to be an effective teacher and not be technologically savvy. I do not think that is the only way to reach a student, but it is a big part of reaching today's student. We do not live in a pencil and paper only society, students are doing and learning things online less positive than they should be exposed to and it is up to us to teach them ways to take a computer and further their education. I do not know of any teacher that has not advanced with the times and accepted computers as a positive way to instruct and reinforce what they are teaching. Every job requires technological skills and if we are grooming the futures work force environment we have to give the every chance we to be competitive in the workforce. School is the foundation for good success and the success includes computer knowledge on every level.
