ITunes University

What can Itunes come up with next? Itunes is a great place for portable music and videos and even radio but they also have a educational side to them as well. Itunes has created Itunes University, which is a part of itunes where its full of educational media. Its open to all students and teachers alike. It can be used in the classroom or for homework help.

According to the Apple website , Itunes University is a quick way for mobile learning. They also state that itunes university can be used internally or externally. What this means is you could create a Itunes university website just for your school that is password protected and full of the information one would need. However it can be externally which is open to everyone or a mixture of the two. Either way it creates a great interactive tool for the classroom.

Many university have created itunes university for their students and even though it seems to be a more college based system, high school could probably benefit from it as well. According to the Apple website they listed about ten schools that have their own itunes university and I am sure there are plenty more. Itunes should be used by students if they have a ipod because I believe its a great tool.
