iTunes U

In one of my classes this semester I have to complete a research paper on one of the digital tools that we have learned about that could be used in our own classrooms. I have chosen to do mine on iTunes. As I think about iTunes in and educational setting, I realize that I personally haven't tapped into the power of iTunes and utilized it enough in my classroom. I know that iTunes U alone has some excellent resources. Also, I assume that many of my students are unaware of the many resources that iTunes offer. Many of these resources are in the form of podcasts and are free for anyone to download.

I have made a commitment to myself to take some time to look the content in iTunes U and see what is available in my subject areas and see what would work in my classroom and what might also benefit my students. I would also like to plan on spending some time with my students in the upcoming school year to show them that iTunes has more than just Apps and music. I would like for them to discover for themselves what is available for their own personal benefit.
