iPods help save lives

[LTD]

Medical students at The Ohio State University Medical Center can now carry the equivalent of heavy textbooks and medical references in their lab coat pockets. The iPod Touch is making it easier for medical students at OSU to navigate classroom lectures and clinical duties with patients.

Over the next two years, each Ohio State medical student will receive a standard iPod touch, equipped with specific medical software programs planned by the OSU College of Medicine.

Good idea.

It was only a matter of time, I think it is a god idea. I mean in some schools (for certain courses) PDA's or notebooks are part of the course equipment given out. Makes perfect sense to me.

yeah that is a good idea becuase students like ipods and they will be more interested. the last thing you want as a university teacher is very bored students.

I've tried reading books on my phone, a touch's screens a bit bigger, but it still seems odd to me.

I noticed what I started doing in Grades 10 - 12 (and even now to a more minor degree) was I took pictures of pages of the textbook that I needed before I went home for school.

That way I could just leave my heavy textbooks in my locker and I could walk home without a textbook and still be able to do my homework.

Good for Apple and great for the trees that don't get pulped for those text books. :cool:
