iTunes University


Looking into iTunes University has peaked my interest even more. As a future educator I can see how this site could be very useful in the classroom. The search engine provides links to different universities that may help provide further knowledge to pass along to students in the classroom. Teachers can see specific sites, series of instruction, or programs, to help them expand or teach a lesson.

The easiest way to search for something is to go to the iTunes website, find the search button in the top right corner. Once you type in what your looking for, your results will be displayed. Simply click on one of the chosen search items and pull up that page. After you have done this click on the tracks button to play specific tracks. You can choose any university that participates, other institutes will soon post more.

With a majority of the classrooms now having smart boards, a teacher can easily pull them up without the need of television sets from the library. The students could listen and watch all information with the simple touch of a mouse. To find iTunes University simply go to this link www.apple.com/education/guidedtours/itunesu.html. This will help you get started with tours and download information.
