Universities Going Gadgety? High Tech Handouts for Freshman...
Clipped from MacRumours.com :
yesterday that they would be issuing iPhones or iPod Touches to incoming freshman for use in their college courses and day to day lives."
...It seems brilliant for Apple to be creating addicts, and enthusiasts,and early adopters! How could they lose with this approach?
StudyTXT and mLearning in place at Auckland University of Tech (NZ), Most schools are not encouragining any form of texting in the classroom, but SMS communication has found a place in education. (And the video is less cheesy than Abilene's!).
Give a kid an iPhone and expect him to get his work done? I dunno, seems cruel and unusual to me. It might take a couple semesters just for the novelty to wear off! ...Makes me want to go back to school.
