I Tunes University

ITunes University is a service of Apple's ITunes. It enables students to have access to educational content from universities across the country. It also provides students with a way to take the information with them, so to speak, by using an IPod or IPhone.

I believe that ITunes University could be of great use to me as a student. Since ITunes University allows content such as lectures and programs from other universities across the country, it could be a great tool for research. As a teacher, ITunes may not be suitable for elementary age children, although I do believe there are a few programs geared to that age group, however, it would be suitable for grades 9-12. I feel it could be beneficial to high school students because it would expose them to some upper level education that they may not have access to otherwise.
