iTunes University

Wow! I have never even heard of iTunes U until this semester. It is very interesting to know that students can access FREE videos and learning tools all on their iPod. As an educator, it could be helpful as well to use in the classroom as a teaching tool. What better way to get up-to-date information than on the internet - immediately! Gone are the days of checking out documentaries from the library. iTunes U is the place to go! And the fact that you can put it as an app on your iPhone is unremarkable

There are a lot of schools and universities enrolled in iTunes U. However, there are a lot that are not registered either. I wonder why? I have never heard of it, and even if South Alabama was registered, I would have no idea about it because none of our teachers use it at all. Just like everything else, I think that teachers and students could benefit greatly from internet sources in the classroom. It also allows the students to always have access to it as opposed to just being able to see something in the classroom. It could encourage students to learn further about the material and to think deeper.
