Marie Hart, Geography teacher at Barnwell School in Stevenage, has been encouraging her students to use iPods to help with their GCSE revision.

In this podcast she tells us why she decided to employ the use of handheld technologies in her teaching, how she got started and how the students use these devices for their revision. Some of the students also talk about their experience of using iPods.
