iPods in the Classroom

I found an interesting article about a Middle School in Athens, Georgia that uses iPods to teach. They are using the iPods to teach English to students that do not speak English. The school is called Coile Middle School. Some of their students speak English as a second language. The administration figured the iPod would be a good way to teach because of the amount of interest students have in the iPods.

The teacher would record a story on the iPods and let the children that needed the assistance listen to it. They have to follow along with the text book while listening to the story on the iPod. The teacher figured that this would reinforce the learning. The children found this to be a good way of learning because it also took away some of the boredom from just reading. It also helped a lot because the children liked using iPods. This also gives children a chance to learn new technology.
