iTunes' University

Yet another great resource for students and teachers alike. Through my search on iTunes's University I found a plethora of information. Of course the first website I found was the apple . This is a wonderful place to gather information on its iTune's University product. Following is an informational video of iTune's University:



Make sure to watch this video, for it will give you a great idea as to how beneficial iTune's U can be. Another wonderful video that was created by a college level teacher, Catherine Stukel . She points out in her video that iTune's U is not only Universities here stateside, but also abroad. In addition to universities from all over the world you can also learn from various lectures as well as museums! Please take the time to watch er video too:



I believe that students can benefit from this wonderful resource in multiple ways. Not only is it portable education, but it is free and extremely user friendly. Can you imagine being able to learn whatever you are interested in from anywhere in the world? There are truly no limitations to iTune's University. You do not have to have an iPod to be able to benefit. All you need is access to a computer! Students could listen to and/or watch assignments given by their teachers at home, on vacation, from the local library or at work when there is down time.

Let's not forget about the educators. Educators can too benefit from iTune's University. They can add to their lesson plans or learn needed information from this program too! Teachers could search out needed information on whatever the topic maybe. They could use lectures or videos found to introduce or enhance any lesson plan. Let's keep in mind too that teachers do not know everything either. Teachers can learn information on subject that is to be taught to better have themselves prepared to present to their students.

Overall I feel that once iTune's University gets out there and becomes more widely utilized by both educators and students alike, our access to knowledge will be incomparable to any other resource that has every been out there for us to utilize. It is amazing how much technology has grown in such a short period of time.
