iTunes U

iTunes U is a wonderful resource for both students and teachers. It is a free program from iTunes that allows anyone to access educational resources. Teachers can use iTunes U in the classroom. They can pull up an interesting book or video and share it with the class. They can download any podcasts or videocasts that will help them to better teach a subject that they are trying to teach. Each University on iTunes U can use the program to get certain information out to the Faculty and Students of the university.

It is great for students because it is a free program! If a student is struggling with a certain topic in school, he or she can go to iTunes U and find a podcast that better explains the topic so that they can have a better understanding of the subject. Suffolk University uses iTunes U to communicate with their students about speakers and interesting research on campus. iTunes U can also be a tool used for Alumni and prospective students to know what the University has to offer. I think iTunes U is wonderful for teachers, students, or anyone who wants to learn something.
