iPod used to cheat in exam
After banning cellphone due to the usage of this device to cheat in exam, the schools in America are starting a ban to iPod because of the same reason. A teacher overheard the conversation among students about this matter. With small size, iPods can be hidden under clothing, and the earbuds can be pulled out using one hand without anyone can see it. With your hand on your ear, it looks like you are thinking of the answers of the questions. But actually you are listening to the answers.
The answers of the tests are recorded in iPod before the exam and they listen to the answers during the exam. This is how dangerous technology can be. But, the teachers and the schools should not look into only the bad of this technology. This type of technology can be used in learning. Some of students do not like to read. So iPods and such gadgets can be a solution to this students, so that they at least can revise using other method. Maybe this method is more effective. Who knows!
Besides, if iPods are banned, the cheaters still can find or already have thousand of ways to cheat in the exam. This group of peoples is very creative.

Well, any electronic device should be banned in exams as well as during class. I know when you are young and testing the limits, it is hard to understand, but you are cheating yourself the most.
Just to quote my dad who did oversee students in any college exams, “prepare your cheat sheet.” To the students that questioned the soundness of his advice he continued “I said prepare it, not use it. Because when you put the effort in preparing the right cheat sheet, you are well prepared to pass the exam.”

Sure it is an innovative idea to cheat but still the act is to be condemned.
