Reading both of the articles took me back to 2006, when the iPod was huge, heavy! It is crazy to think that I had the first generation of iPods, and how far they have advanced in the past eight years. In reading History To Go: Why iTeach with iPods, it was stated perfectly, "We are encountering students who are more wired than ever before, and the more we take advantage of the natural comfort zones students, the more we may be able to reach them in educationally profound ways. Our teaching habits may have to adapt to theses new realities," (Vess 2006).
I have found podcasts very helpful throughout the program at FPU. I often downloaded lectures and would watch and listen to them while at the gym. I need to find a way to integrate podcasts into my jr high PE classes!
