iTunes University


As a student iTunes U would be helpful when you miss a class, you could just upload the information you missed from the iStore. Keeping you up to date, like you never missed the day. It would also keep you from pestering your Professor with questions. iTunes U creates a different learning environment from the conventional style we are used to today. It would open doors for different styles of learning. It would allow students like me, the visual learner would be able to see examples of lectures not just notes.

The other opportunity that iTunes U would make would be the fact that students would have access to the classroom 24/7 all they would need is a computer, iPod, iPhone, etc. It would also allow you to take the classroom outside, on days like to day when its warm and the sun is out NO ONE wants to be inside, they would rather be outside.

As a teacher iTunes U would make the classroom more enjoyable. You could teach a variety of subjects, and styles. While on a field trip you could have the students looking at other examples, or take them outside on the school grounds and let them identify the different birds, trees, flowers etc that they just learned about. Then upon returning to the classroom have them blog about their findings.
