The Washington Post reports that teachers around the country are experimenting with using iPods and podcasting as teaching tools.
"It just makes so much sense. They are so drawn to this technology. They are so excited by it. They're comfortable with it," said Jamestown Elementary School's Camilla Gagliolo, the school's technology coordinator.
Using little more than an iPod and a school computer, Gagliolo and her students have been making podcasts that can be downloaded to an iPod or other portable MP3 player.
"This idea is so great: I can hear what my daughter is doing and we can tell her grandparents, and they can hear it where they are," said Alison Pascale of Arlington, whose daughter Kalyn McNulty, 10, is one of the Jamestown podcasters.
