Reaching for the Future

Have You Checked Out iTunes U Yet?

If not you are missing out on one of the most important education changes in last decade.  This mechanism makes it possible to watch lectures from educational institutions all over the world - for FREE and watch when you have the time, not when class is in session.

It’s easy:  On your Mac, open iTunes from the Applications folder.
On the left, click on iTunes Store (remember these lectures and podcasts are free!)
At the top right you will see a box that says “search iTunes store”.  Type the search text there for the type of podcast you are looking for.  For example, Physics or Education Technology or autism.
The results you see now could be anything from music to lectures.  To narrow down the results to podcasts or iTunes U there’s one more step.
In the upper left of the window you should see a Power Search box with a menu.  Select iTunes U or Podcasts and the selection results will be filtered.

The video and audio podcasts can be downloaded for viewing later, and be sync’d with your iPod Touch for viewing anywhere, anytime.  Got a spare fifteen minutes while waiting for baseball practice to end?  Take out the iPod Touch and brush up on the physics of baseball or find technology in education lesson plans.
