Ipod's

Ipod's are a pretty neat tool to use in all different types of settings. Not only are the Ipods used for music they are being used in classroom settings for lectures, transporting large media files, pictures and much more.

The particular website that I referenced above talks about how a student at Duke University was able to download a lecture from a guest speaker. He was able to listen to the lecture on either his computer or on his Ipod, he did not have to sit at the computer he was able to be mobile. This is a great thing, I can't stand sitting still! While searching for this information I read that all students at Duke received a new Ipod when entering the college! I think I am going to transfer!!

Speadsheets

The use of spreadsheets in the classroom has been a large part of a classroom setting. Using spreadsheets allows for the students to analyze data with a visual perspective. Even for myself it's much easier to analyze data if I can see it. In most cases using spreadsheets allows for repetitive tasks to be complete in minutes. Spreadsheets have so many different uses and functions in the classroom!

Spreadsheets on this particular website are used to allow the students record their data on spinning coins. Once all the data is entered there is a lot of information that can be taken from all of this data. Check out the website to see the graph that resulted from the data.
