iPod exam cheats

This is funny!Some students are using iPod-compatible voice recorders to tape exam answers in advance, hide them in the machine's "lyrics" text files, and then secretly play them back.Schools across America are targeting iPods and other digital media players as the latest way in which pupils are cheating in exams.The increasingly tiny devices can be hidden under clothing, with just an earbud and a wire snaking behind the ear and into a shirt collar to give them away, said officials.The schools recently banned digital media players after a teacher overheard two children talking about downloading scientific formulas on to their devices.Kelsey Nelson, a 17-year-old pupil at the school, said the ban had not stopped students using the devices.A teacher at San Gabriel High School in West Covina, California, confiscated a student's iPod during a class and found the answers to a test, crib notes and a definition list hidden among the pupil's music selections.The school recently banned digital media players after a teacher overheard two children talking about downloading scientific formulas on to their devices.A teacher at San Gabriel High School in West Covina, California, confiscated a student's iPod during a class and found the answers to a test, crib notes and a definition list hidden among the pupil's music selections.
