Week 12

iTunes University allows professor at university officials to upload videos and audios from class lectures to the iTunes. Students can download the videos and audio for free and then transfer them to their iPods. iTunes in the classroom can be used to help students improve the qualities of their work. It can make you care more deeply about the subject matter, and you can be eager to share their learning with a writer audience. Students believe they have found the solution for students in need of notes from missed classes.

I would use iTune as a study guide consisting of guestions to help students prepare for exams. Asked them to listen to question, pause, and try to answer them. They would be fundamental question to make sure they understand the basics, then during the test asked synthesis type of questions. Many schools have invested in iTines in the classroom. As the internet become more entwined with learning, we as teachers need to develop new techniques to manage computers and online use, and then use the new tools effectively. iTune delivers easy, 24/7 access to educational content from hundreds of top colleges, universities, and educationally focused orginzations across the country. iTunes is accessible to anyone with a Mac or PC.

Computers and internet are nothing new to the classroom. However, studies now show that kids learn differently today than they did one or two decades ago, because of exposure to digital media and information. iTunes come with both opportunities and challenges for teachers. Not only do they require thinking in new ways about how to teach the same facts and skills, but also being aware of the new distraction thar iTunes in the classroom can present. It is very important that iTunes be use for learnig purposes only. As a teacher I wouldn't allow my students unlimited time with iTune during class. If I had a computers inwhich students,rountinely use computers, I would make certain thar I keep an eye on what they are doing. Walking around the classroom to make sure the students are listening to, or working on nothing new. iTunes can be even more important with computers in use because of the potiential distraction.
