Ontario students use iPods to learn physics | mansfieldnewsjournal.com | Mansfield News Journal:

“ONTARIO — Lauren Cortelletti, a senior at Ontario High School, was among a group of students using an iPod Touch for the first time in physics class last month to determine acceleration.

With a little trial and error, her group was able to complete the lab, which was focused on how an accelerometer works. Students secured the iPod Touch device to a small car and released it down a board positioned at various inclines. Normally, students would complete the calculation using graphs.”
