Even though you will see me before and after school listening to my ipod, I am usually not listening to music. I use my ipod to listen to podcasts that inform me about technology and the news. <BR/><BR/>One of my students will be using an ipod as an intervention next week to see if she can improve her comprehension of her social studies. She will be listening to the text while she follows along. <BR/><BR/>There are classrooms that use ipods or Zunes to study with. Mr. Langhorst, who visited our class last year, uses them in his history class for students to listen to lecture notes. <BR/><BR/>Mr. C<BR/><BR/>BTW is it hard to debate against something you actually believe in?Wm Chamberlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692221214846665588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548467820736419534.post-31206200798067539172009-03-12T18:07:00.000-05:002009-03-12T18:07:00.000-05:00cool debatings fun i remember last year me and my ...cool debatings fun i remember last year me and my class mates did debating we sat like they d in a debating chamber and debated like they did we practicly did exactly like them but e sounded different and we made up class things to debated on and you students and mr clungkeep debating its fun.<BR/><BR/>shannon Rm10Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
