iPods in Education

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/ipods-as-study-aids-496199.html

Duke University is absolutely brilliant!! I with that South Alabama had thought of the same idea. Duke University gave their freshmen a 20 gig. iPod. The students immediately started downloading music, but soon they started using their gifts for school. They used a microphone attachment to record lectures, used it as a portable hard drive, and stored text files on them.
I think that the school took real initiative to motivate and help the students to get an education. It appears to me that Duke is truly trying to motivate the students to keep at their studies by giving them something that will help them with their classes and can also be fun.
