In a story on iPods in the classroom, Georgia College (my department!) was mentioned in the Circuits section of The New York Times today:
While Apple says Brearley's mandatory-iPod program is the first it has heard of at the secondary-school level, there have been comparable efforts at universities. This fall Duke issued an iPod to each of its 1,650 incoming freshmen and has tried to incorporate the device into several courses, including music, language and engineering. Last year, Georgia College & State University began lending the devices to students for use in several humanities courses.
A moment in the spotlight. My colleague and yoga buddy Rob Viau is a mover behind the iPod program here. He says there's a possibility of something larger in the future.
