i-Dievices

From my own experiences and the experiences of others, I have come to the conclusion that i-pods, i-pads and i-phones or otherwise known of i-divices are extremely popular and effective in the classroom. These devices are both beneficial for teachers and students. Most classrooms use i-pods and i-pads to enhance the learning of students. I-pads can be used by teachers for student observations. However, students I feel have more benefit by using these divices for educational games, listening to music, taking pictures and making videos. A downside to using these divices is that the students could try to use them for non-educaitonal purposes. Therfore, the teacher would have to keep a close eye on the usage. I have included a PMI further analysing thes i-devices.
