After searching the web for "suggestions and experiences in using iPods in instruction", I came upon a site that mentions several different educational intitutions using iPods to help teachers and students bridge the gap between education and online media-based technology. Not only does the site list examples of different intitutions applying this practice, it also shows several specific uses for the iPod device in an educational environment (to include podcasts and audiobooks).
A few of the examples include schools such as Escondido Union District schools and Louisa-Muscatine Elementary School - both of which use iPods to aid in test taking. Other schools implement the iPod device into their curriculum by way of educational video and podcasts (Wells Elementary School and The Lincoln Interactive School). iPod technology is also being used by students at a university level. At the University of Michigan, dentistry students are learning through the use of audio files. At Duke University, students use iPods to learn economics, foreign language, and engineering. The site, known as T4 Jordan School District: Transforming Teaching Through Technology, can be found at http://t4.jordan.k12.ut.us/t4/content/view/212/37/
