The apple ipod
For me the ipod video is the perfect learning tool considering the target of the type of student that learns better with this method fits my description as a learner. The ipod has become a great trend in the market of technology it has been innovated to meet the ever growing demand of today's society. The ipod would be the perfect learning tool for me because my habits meet the standard to which the learning process built with the ipod was designed.
If ipods take over in the learning process then perhaps i will be at an advantage but there will still be some disadvantages to this. Like some people i like to procrastinate when i work and often take a longer break then i intend to do. With the other features in an ipod it is easy to entertain yourself. As a student who procrastinates a lot, i could easily turn away from studying to watch a movie clip and perhaps listen to music instead of bothering with a seminar. However there is a silver lining to this as this device saves you from a lot of hassle when it comes to seminar simply because you'll be in control of what goes on. You are able to pace yourself and not have to hesitate to comprehend any misinterpreted information being taught by rewinding and playing the seminar more than once to clarify for yourself. That way you will be at an advantage compared to people who don't take advantage of the ipod.
The way the ipod should really be judged as a good learning tool is the person using the ipod and for what it's worth, i would probably consider using this as an excuse to consider parents to buy this for me.

Hi Mark,
I completely agree with your last point. The effectiveness of learning with an ipod depends on the type of learner. Well written.
Ms. Largo
ps. The Eminem sony Toy Soldiers is, in my opinion a great song. However, there is swearing in the song. We need to follow the blog rules, so please find an appropriate substitute for this song.
I completly agree with you Mark an iPod would be very good learning tool. The iPod would make many people procrastinate. Although many people would i don't think eveyone will procrastinate epesially the people that actually do work. All in all i think you made a very good statement about the IPod being used in class.
