5、ther together.

6、btedly, that the iPhone is cool and a hit with students. Being equipped with one of the most recent cutting-edge IT products could just help a college or university foster a cutting-edge reputation.Apple stands to win as well, hooking more young consumers with decades of technology purchases ahead o

7、f them. The lone losers, some fear, could be professors.Students already have laptops and cell phones, of course, but the newest devices can take class distractions to a new level.

9、t to the Internet over a campus wireless network. She speculated that professors might try even harder to make classes interesting if they were to compete with the devices.Experts see a movement toward the use of mobile technology in education, though they say it is in its infancy as professors try

10、to come up with useful applications. Providing powerful hand-held devices is sure to fuel debates over the role of technology in higher education.We think this is the way the future is going to work, said Kyle Dickson, co-director of research and the mobile learning initiative at Abilene Christian U

11、niversity in Texas, which has bought more than 600 iPhones and 300 iPods for studentsentering this fall.Although plenty of students take their laptops to class, they dont take them everywhere and would prefer something lighter.

13、ey would not leak any institutions plans.We cant announce other peoples news, said Greg Joswiak, vice president of iPod and iPhone marketing at Apple. He also said that he could not discuss discounts to universities for bulk purchases.At least four institutions - the University of Maryland, Oklahoma

14、 Christian University, Abilene Christian and Freed-Hardeman- have announced that they will give the devices to some or all of their students this fall.Other universities are exploring their options. Standford University has hired a student-run company to design applications like a campus map and dir

15、ectory for the iPhone.

16、 offering the iPhone in the United States, had a more reliable network, said Andrew Yu, mobile devices platform project manager at M.I.T.We would have probably gone ahead with this, maybe just getting a thousand iPhones and giving them out, Mr. Yu said.The University of Maryland at College Park is p

17、roceeding cautiously, giving the iPhone or iPod Touch to 150 students, said Jeffrey Huskamp, vice president and chief information officer at the university. We dont think that we have all the answers, Mr. Huskamp said. By observing how students use the gadgets, he said. Were trying to get answers fr

Both the iPhones and the iPod Touch devices can connect to the Internet through campus wireless networks. With the iPhone, those networks m

Many cell phones allow users to surf the Web, but only some newer ones are capable of wireless connection to the local area computer network.University officials say that they have no plans to track their students (and Ap

They say that they are drawn to the prospect of learning applications outside the classroom, though such lesson plans have yet to surface.My colleagues and I are studying something called augmented reality (a field of computer

21、 research dealing with the combination of real-world and virtual reality), said Christopher Dede, professor in learning technologies at Harvard University, Alien Contact, for example, is an exercise developed for middle-school students who use hand-held devices that can determine their location. As

22、they walk around a playground or other area, text, video or audio pops up at various points to help them try to figure out why aliens were in the schoolyard.You can imagine similar kinds of interactive activities along historical lines, like following the Freedom Trail in Boston, Professor Dede said

23、. Its important that we do research so that we know how well something like this works.The rush to distribute the devices worries some professors, who say that students are less likely to participate in class if they are multi-tasking. Im not someone whos anti-technology, but Im always worried that

26、 explained to him. What we want to encourage in these students is an active intellectual experience, in which they develop the wide range of complex reasoning abilities required of good lawyers. The experience at Duke University may ease some concerns. A few years ago, Duke began giving ipods to stu

27、dents with the idea that they might use to record lectures(those older models could not access the Internet).“We had assumed that the biggest focus of these devices would be consuming the content,”said Tracy Futhey, vice president for information technology and chief information officer at Duke. But

28、 that is not all that the students did. They began using the ipods to create their own”content”,making audio recordings of themselves and presenting them.
