Thanks James for reminding me about this. I have starred this story with Google Reader 2 other times already, but with all the work on the site I have been doing, I had not had a chance to share.

Anyhow, Freshmen at Abilene Christian University will get an iPhone or iPod touch for learning purposes…

An Apple iPhone or iPod touch will become a central part of Abilene Christian University’s innovative learning experience this fall when all freshmen are provided one of these converged media devices, said Phil Schubert, ACU executive vice president.

I am pretty sure that they are paying for it via tuition anyhow, but at least they don’t have to talk mom and dad into it in addition to tuition. Either way, it’s pretty cool. I love seeing technology being used for learning.
