iTunes University

    I have just finished exploring the iTunes University website.  Apparently, this is a location for many podcasts that are brought to us by various schools and Universities around the country.   I was very impressed with the wide array of knowledge that I could tap into in this University.   There were podcasts on just about any subject that I could think of and some that I hadn't thought of.  the podcasts were categorized by subject and easy to look up.      This is indeed a very useful tool for students and teachers alike.   For students, this knowledge can come in handy for reseach, papers, or for additional study in any particular class.  For a teacher, this tool can be use to suppliment teaching materials, and also to prepare lectures.   The podcasts can be downloaded and brought into the classroom as an auxillary teaching tool as well.  I can see much potential in the iTunes University.     When I logged onto the iTunes University, I explored the Oxford University link. Under it, I found many interesting podcasts, however, my computer timed out before I could access the infomation. So I will try again later. I was, however, abe to access Edutopia and in the following post, I have outlined the information that I have gathered. I will spread the news of iTunes University at work and school and let others know about this valuable educational tool.
