Tuning In

In the article “Tuning In” , Alex Reid discusses the wide range of iPod and mp3 media player use. Educators are aware of the popularity of these technologies among the youth. So, their goal is to merge this interest with the academic world. Professors are using iPods to broadcast assignments and to communicate with student. They then use this medium to blog and twitter. This method is also being used in the workplace to communicate with employees as well. It seems to me that everyone is trying to get someone’s attention in order to get them to do what they should already be doing without the aid of incentives.
