iPods Invade Local Classroom
Enslow Middle School is "touchy feely," as in iPod Touch. The Cabell County school is the only middle school in the state using iPods to help students do research. It's a pilot program that has people taking notice.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Want to feel old? Middle school student Morgan Orr loves using her iPod for research.
"I thought it was pretty cool because we could actually use something like, that's not like a computer," she said. "It's more modern-day technology"
All the 6th graders at Enslow Middle School in Huntington have been given iPods as study tools. Teachers are in training every week after school to learn how to upload their own podcasts about their subjects.
Teacher Kim Westcott said, "Technology is the way everything's going. If we're not caught up with technology, well then I guess you've missed the boat."
Enslow Middle School is believed to be the only school in the state using iPods at that level. One of the administrators of the program is Terri White. She's also the school's art teacher.
"The trend is moving in a direction we can't stop," White said. "We just have to kind of go with the flow and use it to the best of our knowledge and capability to get the best result in the end."

I am a current 8th grader at Enslow Middlw School, and it is not right for people to leave comments on this like that. They have no reason to talk about us like that because our test scores are actually pretty good. And I think it is a good opportunity for the sixth graders now and the sixth graders to come, just because we do not get them doesn't mean we are not intelligent . Or because we did not go to the same Middle School that gave you a "good" education.
