I-pods and instruction

I thought that Duke University took a great chance in incorporating i-pods in in their instruction. I think it is an interesting idea and I believe it could work very well eventually. I think as long as the professors will use the i-pods in their own instruction then students should receive them. I do think that they can also be a major distraction though as well. Why pay attention when you can watch a show in class or listen to music. The schools that use them will of course have to work out all the bugs. The website I found this info was: http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0419/p11s01-legn.html
Also a website a really like because it gave me a better idea of what the i-pod can actually do in the class room was:http://www.schoolcio.com/showArticle.php?articleID=196604276 I thought it gave a lot of good insight to the subject.
