A cool toy to play with!

I have been given the opportunity to "borrow" an iPod for the next couple days from my workplace to see how we could use it towards educational purposes! Needless to say I jumped at the chance. Its a brand new (Gen2) 20Gig they bought about a week before the new iPods came out.

So I get to dink around with it and see what "New" uses I can come up with on it.

If anyone can sent ideas my way, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks and happy podding!

Well, that sounds awesome, but its too bad they didnt give you the new iPod. The new ones have the notes viewer (which the old ones will soon have) and that seems fairly educational. And with recording hidden in the ipod (and likely to be available for all soon), audio notes could possibly be taken (but perhaps not, depends on how Apple does it).

Have fun.

the ipod also serves as paper weight to hold down your EDUCATIONAL papers, keyword is educational

Ignodium, where did you hear about the old ones getting an update of Notes? Are you pulling our legs here?!:D

The only thing I can think of is that my iPod has kept me awake this semester since I'm studying until 3:00 a.m. every night and then getting up at 7:00. But I don't think that's what you're looking for :D

I've found the iPod an excellent means of avoiding work. Right now, for example, I should be studying for my exams, but instead I'm compiling the latest "ultimate" playlist... ;-)
