I really enjoyed the IPOD article. It’s so funny that you had that up there because today one of my students told me that they sell a SAT game for the IPOD. Basically, you learn techniques and vocabulary through playing on your IPOD. It offers practice questions, so while they are listening to music, they can also practice for this exam. I thought it was genius! I couldn’t believe that this student actually bought it. Whatever works, right?

I think it’s so interesting the creative ways new technology gets used in teaching. Does your student like the game and use it MsB?
