iTunes University

iTunes University is a cool program by Mac that has lots of uses in a modern class room. iTunes U is a program that allows teachers to pick digital content from Macs Library and use it in the class or load their own. The things range from Songs for a Music class, to speeches, and even lectures from the mornings class. The best thing about all of this is that all of the content is free to the student that would be using it. The content will work on any mac or PC but the best thing is that you can load the content on to your iPod and take it any were.

I think that iTunes U could have lots of uses in a class room. It could help people learn in a more convenient and fun way. The convenience comes from the fact that in stead of being relegated to one area that you have to watch a video or listen to a speech you can take and view it most any were. I believe that things like iTunes U are going to be an important thing in education in the next few years.
