iPod required for secondary-level language classes

Brearley School, a private school for girls on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, incorporated the iPod into foreign-language and classics courses. It is the first secondary-school level program, according to an article in The New York Times: "...students use the iPods predominantly in interactive exercises. Last week, two students in Roberto Lazo's seventh-grade Spanish class were asked to read sections of a poem into iTalk microphones, devices compatible with the iPod that let users make digital recordings....Six other students in Mr. Lazo's class took live dictation, then listened to the tracks to check their work."
