Duke University's use of iPods

Duke University is a school that is know all across the world.They are interested in their students future. At Duke, there are several students that have used iPods in the classroom. A count of more than 1,200 students were expected to use the iPod to enhance classroom materials,lectures,etc.The use of iPods in the classroom has quadrupled and the course that use iPods has doubled over the years. In 2004, Duke issued all first year students free iPods.Duke saw the impact that the use of iPods had on their students, so the promoted the use of technology in higher education.
Now Duke is experimenting with digital technology. The university adopted a program called DDI, which stands for Duke Digital Initiative). I feel that every school should allow their students the opportunity to experience the use of iPods in the classroom. there are numerous technology devices in the world that some people have no idea about. I feel that Duke is one of many schools that is enhancing the students learning through the use of new and upcoming technology.
