An iPod Classroom?
1) The article suggests that iPod video lectures are effective for '"kinesthetic learners", who tend to be hands-on, active, and require frequent breaks." Do you think that you would learn well using an iPod? Why or why not?
I think I would learn better with a video iPod lecture rather than in a seminar. One reason why I think I would learn better is because I could be multi-tasking. For example, I could be playing games and listening to the video lecture. Also another good thing about this iPod video lectures is the fact that one COULD rewind the lecture if one happened to miss something. In other words, if you happen to miss notes on a certain part of the lecture, you could easily replay that last part. Another good thing about iPod lectures is that you don't have to be necessarily have to be in the class to listen to that lecture. Another good thing about having lectures in videos is that the professor would only have to do one lecture rather than repeating himself over and over and over again. You could also pause the video whenever you feel like taking a break from taking notes and such.
The only problem that I see occurring is that one would actually have to BUY a video iPod. That could be very costly. I'm not sure that anyone would buy a video iPod just to listen to a video seminar. It would be very convenient to watch video lecturing instead of listening to them but it would only be convenient to those who already own a video iPod.
In the end, I think that thopportunityity is only effective to those who have a video iPod and those who can work effectively without being distracted at the other songs in their iPod or the new environment of giving lectures via video.
