I wanted to share this link to an article. For anyone with an iPod this is a great new tool.
The article from Applelinks.com tells how iPod and Merriam Webster have created a downloadable dictionary for the iPod. "Unlike audio versions of classical literature, iPREPpress provides text and graphics hyperlinks that bring highly readable text and easy navigation to the iPod, turning it into a PDA-like experience." stated Charles Moore.
The ideas that stem from technology can be intriguing. I wonder who thought of putting a dictionary on an Music playing device. I guess anything is possible.

This is just another example of the convergence of information technologies. Other examples include using cell phones to send email and listen to music or watch video or VoIP (phone conversations over the internet). It truly is revolutionary to consider how rapid these technologies have developed within the last ten years or so. This makes me think of the unimaginable possibilities that have yet to be developed. As a teacher I would need to prepare students not just for the technologies of today but also those of tomorrow. I know that sounds incredibly cliché but education should provide students with skills to adapt to change.
