High schools banning ipods

Students are finding new and creative ways to cheat. Writing answers to the bill of your hat and on to cheat sheets or your hand is old. Student are taking advantage of digital divices to record and playback answer and formulas. They use a tape recorder or microphone to speak, then they import those recordings onto an ipod. From there its easy to hide the earphone under their shirt and behind their ear or hide it in their sleeve and put their and on their ear. I remember students did that when I went to high school about 5 years ago. The same can be done with cell phones, but it's easier to ban ipods. Colleges shouldn't be too worried because students are espected to have more academic integrity.

I guess teachers are going to have to setup metal detectors outside the classroom on test days. :)
