Learning with iPod

We are a society on the go and TDA is keeping pace with its students' active lifestyles via the iPod.

Now, when students are on the run, they can take schoolwork with them, by simply "plugging in" to the handheld iPod, small enough to fit in your pocket.

'My friends couldn't believe I was getting a really cool iPod on top of all the great equipment from my school. I use it in my Spanish II class, but I also listen to NPR and ESPN radio shows. I've even thought about doing my own podcasts with my friends. It’s a really cool tool.'

-- Regis Allison
TDA senior

Teachers will provide podcasts, speech and music recordings, audio books, and other lessons using the iPod. Students can upload schoolwork on their iPods - and take it wherever they go.

Research shows that students learn in a variety of ways. Implementing the iPod into TDA's state-certified curriculum further enhances online education by providing the audio portion of the learning module.

 

'I just listened to President Bush's weekly radio address with my iPod for my American History class. It was neat to hear what he was planning to do and what has been done in Iraq and with Hurricane Katrina.'

-- Elizabeth “Ellie” Dailey
TDA freshman
Cleveland OH

Following orientation, students who successfully complete the first Block in each of their courses will receive an iPod to use while they are enrolled at TDA. Upon graduation, it's theirs to keep.

"If I need help with social studies, I email my teacher and she helps me figure things out. I'm way more advanced on the computer than my friends. They use one finger to type."
