Zune shows up in the classroom
The next time you walk into a school classroom, you just might happen across students using the Microsoft Zune for of all things, learning! That’s right.. learning! Eric Langhorst, a social studies teacher in South Valley Junior High School in Missouri, is working with Microsoft to see how the Zune could be used in classroom learning.
Langhorst, who won Missouri’s Teacher of the Year award, has already been “recognized nationwide for incorporating technology to enhance student learning”. He’s known for creating what he calls “studycasts” which are basically podcasts which can then be downloaded and viewed on a PC, an iPod, or of course, a Zune. Now, Langhorst is working with Microsoft to see how the Zune can be used to further education in the classroom.
