Hello,
I am a freelance writer and former homeschooler. I graduated in 2000, which was a long time ago in technology years!
I'm working on an article about integrating Mp3 players into homeschooling curriculum. I'm curious to know how families are integrating Mp3 players and audio files into their lesson plans. Any tidbit of information is much appreciated, since I've been out of the homeschool loop for a while now!!
Thank you.

To be honest, I've never heard of anyone using an MP3 player as a teaching tool. What would be the advantages of MP3 vs, say, DVD?

Sorry we don't do that. I don't let my kids use the MP3 player because of the volume issues and headphones...they are still to little IMO

Although my oldest daughter owns a MP3 player I've never used it as a teaching tool.
