iTunes University is a great way for teachers to get information to their students in a way that they love-with their cell phone or with their computers. There is a great site sponsored by Apple which gives a tour of iTunes U it is www.apple.com/education/guidedtours/itunesu.html. Teachers can creat content lectures, students can research and they can collaborate with other learners around the world all in a secure environment. Some of the categories included in the iTunes U classroom are languages, fine arts and history. Students and teachers can access free lectures, language lessons and audiobooks from their IPod, Iphone, MAC or PC. There are over 100,000 educational audio and video files from universities, museums and media organizations.
ITunes U is an amazing tool for both teachers and students. Teachers can relate to their students with their lectures and research on their level. Most young people have a cell phone or have some way to access a computer. This is a fun, new way to get a students attention. Students can also contact and listen to other learners all around the world. This is truly a global classroom that is user friendly and easy to access.
