An IPOD classroom?

Having an iPod classroom may not sound like a bad idea, but it does have some disadvantages to it. IPod is known as the best selling mp3 player, so meaning to say that alot of people have iPods. But many of these people who are using the iPod classroom, may say as an excuse that they can just skip the seminar class and say they can just simply record it and listen to it later. Any clues why it can be a disadvantage? Well think of it this way, you have alot of people buying these iPod players to listen to music but many of them can tend to be lazy so they use that same old excuse to listen to the seminar later. But also, they get carried away saying they wont fall behind and just tend to listen to music while recording in the seminar or some just don't prefer to listen to it as a classroom, some would prefer to listen to the iPod for music.

But it can also be viewed as an advantage, because it makes it very easier for the students to listen to the iPod classroom. Even if you missed out on what you heard, you can always rewind it and pick up what you missed because if you were to listen in a real seminar class, some teachers may never go back to what you missed out on. Even if you want a break for example, because of the many long hours of listening to the seminar, you can just pause it and just take a break and later go back to where you were.
