A school in the US is using iPods to help teach children. The move comes after college professors began giving their lectures out to download. The Louisa-Muscatine Elementary School is using the iPod in tests, the test was scanned into a computer and transferred to an iPod. Audio was added. The questions popped up on the screen as heard in the headphones.
