Welcome,Freshmen. Have an iPod.
Taking a step that many professors may view as a bit counterproductive, some colleges and universities are doling out Apple iPhones and Internet-capable iPods to their students.
The always-on Internet devices rai some novel possibilities, like tracking where students gather together. With far less controversy, colleges could nd messages about canceled class, delayed bus, campus cris or just the cafeteria menu.
While schools emphasize its ufulness —online rearch in class and instant polling of students, for example — a big part of the attraction is, undoubtedly, 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 pur-chas ahead of them. The lone lors, some fear, could be professors.
Students already have laptops and cell phones, of cour, but the newest devices can take class distractions to a new level. They practically beg a ur to ignore the long-suffering professor strug-gling to pass on accumulated wisdom from the front of the room — a prospect that teachers find most irritating and students view as, well, inevitable.
“When it gets a little boring, I might pull it out,” acknowle
dged Naomi Pugh, a first-year student at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Term., referring to her new iPod Touch, which can connect to the Internet over a campus wireless network. She speculated that professors might try even harder to make class interesting if they were to compete with the devices.
Experts e a movement toward the u of mobile technology in education, though they say it is
in its infancy as professors try to come up with uful applications. Providing powerful hand-held devices is sure to fuel debates over the role of technology in higher education.

director of re-arch “We think this is the way the future is going to work,” said Kyle Dickson, co and the mobile learning initiative at Abilene Christian University in Texas, which has bought more than 600 iPhones and 300 iPods for students entering this fall.
Although plenty of students take their laptops to class, they don’t take them everywhere and would prefer something lighter. Abilene Christian ttled on the devices after surveying students and finding that they did not like hauling around their laptops, but that most of them always carried a cell phone, Dr. Dickson said.
It is not clear how many colleges and universities plan to give out iPhones and iPods this fall; officials at Apple were unwilling to talk about the subject and said that they would not leak any institution’s plans.
“We can’t announce other people’s 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
purchas.
At least four institutions — the University of Maryland, Oklahoma 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. Stanford University has hired a student-run
com-pany to design applications like a campus map and directory for the iPhone. It is considering
whether to issue iPhones but not sure it, snecessary, noting that more than 700 iPhones were
registered on the university’s network last year.
At the Massachutts Institute of Technology, iPhones might already have been everywhere, if
AT&T, the wireless carrier 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. Yusaid.
The University of Maryland at College Park is proceeding cautiously, giving the iPhone or iPod
Touch to 150 students, said Jeffrey Huskamp, vice president and chief information officer at the
university. “We don’t think that we have all the answers,” Mr. Huskamp said. By obrving how students u the gadgets, he said, “We’re trying to get answers from the students.”
At each college, the students who choo to get an iPhone must pay for mobile phone rvice.
Tho rvice contracts include unlimited data u. Both the iPhones and the iPod Touch devices
can connect to the Internet through campus wireless networks. With the iPhone, tho networks
may provide faster connections and longer battery life than AT&T’s d ata network. Many cell
phones allow urs 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 Apple said it would not
be possible unless students give their permission). They say that they are drawn to the prospect of
learning applications outside the classroom, though such lesson plans have yet to surface.
“My c olleagues and I are studying something called augmented reality (a field of computer
rearch dealing with the combination of real-world a nd virtual reality),” said Christopher Dede,
professor in learning technologies at Harvard University. “Alien Contact,”
for example, is an
exer-ci developed for middle-school students who u hand-held devices that can determine
their location. As 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 follo

The rush to distribute the devices worries some professors, who say that students are less likely to

Robert Summers, who has taught at Cornell Law School for about 40 years, announced this week
— in a detailed, footnoted memorandum —that he would ban laptop computers from his class on
contract law.
“I would ban that too if I knew the students were using it in class,” Professor Summers said iPhone, after the device and its capabilities were explained to him. “What we want to encour-in the 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 ea some concerns. A few years ago, Duke began giving
iPods to students with the idea that they might u them to record lectures (the older models
could not access the Internet).
“We had assumed that the biggest focus of the devices would be consuming the content,”Tracy Futhey, vice president for information technology and chief information officer at Duke.
But that is not all that the students did. They began using the iPods to create their own
making audio recordings of themlves and prenting them. The students turned what could have
been a passive interaction into an active one, Ms. Futhey said.

W: Well, it’s the South Theater Company. They want to know if we’d be interested in sponsoring a tour they want to make to East Asia.
M: East Asia? uhh… and how much are they hoping to get from us?
W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 pounds, but I don’t know if they might ttle for us.
M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?
W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in tongue for as much money as they think they
give.
M: And we are worth 20, 000 pounds, right?
W: It ems so.
M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the idea. What we get out of it?
W: Oh, good publicity I suppo. So what I suggest is not that we just give them a sum of money,
but that we offer to pay for something specific like travel or something, and that in return, we ask
for our name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give us free advertising
space in it.
M: But the travel bill would be enormous, and we could never manage that.

W: Rock stars now face a new hazard --- voice abu. After last week's announcement that Phil

stars about the dos and don'ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Phillips, an
expert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advice would you give to singers facing voice
problems?
M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really need to be more lective about where they
work. They shouldn't work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting their
voices after a show. Something el they need to be careful about is medicines. Aspirin, for
example, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And if a singer coughs, this can result in
