Colleges say ‘I do’ to iPods - Cassie Kornblau, Badger Herald
Maryland may be giving its freshmen free iPods for the classroom, but officials at the University of Wisconsin aren’t sure if the trend really sparks students’ desire to learn. This semester, the University of Maryland at College Park gave 150 incoming freshmen an iPhone or iPod touch. The university allowed students to choose between the two devices and only requires students to pay for the phone plan, if applicable. UMD associate professor of psychology Kent Norman said almost every student can carry around an iPod or iPhone and take notes on them, respond to questions posed by professors and take pop quizzes, even in classrooms not equipped with computers.
