FSU looks to incorporate technology in classes

This article is about how Florida State University (FSU) is trying to find new ways to bring technology into the classrooms. The faculty and staff have attended technology workshops. They have been instructed on how to use pod castings as well as the benefits of multimedia. The teachers say they know students rely more on lectures then they do textbooks. One teacher says, "Students readily admit they don't read the textbooks," said Joe Calhoun, economics professor. They attend class and take notes from professors' lectures." There are many benifits to this new integration. For example professors can put audio files online for students to download on their iPods or mp3 players so they can listen to it wherever they go.
In my opinion, I think it is a good idea for schools to encourage using technology in the classroom. The fact that they have workshops is a good idea to help teachers become more aware. There are so many ways in which multimedia can help in the classroom and it is important to start using them. However, I do not think they should rely so much on podcasts. Textbook are still an important part of the learning process.
