iTunesU

Apple has many resources available through iTunesU for everyone around the world. These podcasts/videocasts are at our fingertips just waiting to be used. It is important for teachers to show their students these resources because the student can use them outside the classroom. When a student goes home and has trouble with their homework, iTunesU might have videos related to the topic the student is studying in class. No teachers teach exactly the same way, and sometimes students just need someone else telling them how to solve a problem.

I have used iTunesU before in a class. My teacher was German, and it was a junior level math class at the University of South Alabama. He was extremely fast-paced, and I found myself struggling to keep up. I found lectures from a different professor on iTunesU, which helped me survive the class. I was not surprised to find that many other students in my class had also watched these videos via iTunesU. ITunesU is one of the many resources readily available to students, and it is important to share this resource with our classmates and future students. I plan to give my students a run-through iTunesU and encourage them to explore it on their own so that they have the opportunity to better understand their schooling.
