An iPod Classroom?

Journal Entry #2 ASM201 Section 1


An IPod Classroom? It could be very useful to very hands on people. If I were to use this method I would choose to do so because it would mean I have a easier way to have the same lecture multiple times helping me with my work. Many people would learn well with an IPod and many people wont. Many people would chose to use the IPod for music and work while other would use it for their own entertainment. Unlike a lot of people they would use it to review work and other things. This could provide a quick and easy access to lectures and other seminars. Plus for the people that require frequent breaks they can just pause what they are working on and switch to listen to music.


It would be very useful for kinesthetic learners. In a school like Mary Ward it would be very advantageous to many of the students. In a self-directed learning school many students tend to miss there seminars and fall behind. With the new IPod class many people with their IPods can listen to the seminars. Making it easier for them because they wont be worried they missed the seminar and cannot complete the unit without it. For people that are very kinesthetic they would use this as an advantage to review on what they learnt. Student would be able to use this to study for test and exams or just use it for a extra thing.

Though there are so many good things that come with the IPod class there are also many bad things. Students would use it as an excuse to not go to seminars so they can do other things. They would use this to tell there parents they are studying with the IPod and then play music instead of working. Students might slack off seeing they think they wont fall behind because they have the seminar on their IPods. Even if they are in the seminars themselves and the teacher thinks they are recording the seminar they could be watching a movie instead of listening.

In conclusion having an IPod classroom would be a very good idea. For the advantages and disadvantages is depending on the person who uses it. Them choosing to use it well or not.

With the GOOD, comes the BAD

Journal Entry #1 ASM201(I think hehe)

Communication technology is everywhere it can be either good or it can be bad.. Well depending on how you use it. There are many good ways into using Communication Technology like for instance. Cell phones can be used as a type of communication to talk to people or to Instant message. It can be used to make photos if it is equipped with a camera or you can listen to music with an mp3 phone. Internet can be of really good use when needed it can be your own library at home or even you media center. You can do lots of things with the internet you can make stuff like this blog or even read book or any other items. Internet can be really useful even for chatting with friends. Other things are portable video games.... really there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Well there are lots of different portable video games and handhelds threes things like: Nintendo DS, Gameboys, PSP and much more. Things like that can help a person relax and relieve stress.

Now about the bad stuff.... I really hoped I wouldn't have to come to this one but since I have no choice. Cell phones can be bad people start getting really attached to their cell phones they talk for enormous amounts of time and text message a lot. Causing them to delay on school work and other things. Internet can be bad if misused. People can use the internet for lots of stuff but some people use it to play games. Not sayings it's bad but it makes people addicted to gaming online. People can use it for other really bad things. Handheld games are bad for the reason people can play it during classes or work making them lose concentration. Sometimes people play it for really long periods of time and forget to do work or other things.


This well sums up the good and the bad of Communication Technology
