Jose: Technology is a reality that has been involving everyone time ago, and there is only one chance for educated people, get totally involved or the other chance is to pass as ignorant. “Companies mine growth of MP3 homework” implies something that is a real. Technology is growing up day by day and this is one of the reasons that companies who knows what’s going on with audio material pay special attention to make of this a very lucrative business. I feel sorry for the books, but this is the future. The younger generations prefer for sure an audio book instead of a hard copy one. Implications are: 1st audio companies grow up everyday. 2nd libraries need to change the way to serve people. 3rd will it imply any damage of the human audible function?. 4th Teachers need to try audio ways to teach our students.
I really never have used Ipod or MP3 or any audio system to learn. I know it but almost never have used it, only for short periods of time. Maybe I do not understand the importance of this, but I think is because my way to learn anything is the old fashioned way of pen and paper and so on. I know it is important to learn this way, but it takes time, even though never is late to learn especially when I know it is really matter for anyone who lives on this technology world.
One last thing is that there are many ways to learn anything, and DVD, Cd, MP3, web pages, are popular now. Which one will be the future ways to learn? Anyway, students benefit from whatever digital or new technologies to learn and are on the teacher the responsibility to approach to new learning styles to teach better. Education is in constant development, evolutioning and teachers need to be on top of this.
