Of course they are! iPods are no longer just mp3 players, but multimedia devices. While a touchscreen keyboard is no substitute for a real keyboard, a little extra hardware, and the right app can make an iP(o/a)d one of the greatest learning tools. The iPad has an online bookstore, which could possibly incorporate school textbooks in the future. Also, with the popularity of the internet, and the introduction of a Netflix-like online library, you would have an easy to use book-viewing tool perfect for reading classes. Also, seeing as most of the iPod games aren't worth playing, students wouldn't have that much of a problem with distractions. Final answer, iPods are great for school, they just have to be implemented correctly.
