Assignment 12

iTunes is now bringing education to students in way they are very familiar with, through their iPods. iTunes has created iTunes U which gives students access to things like their professors lectures and notes. Many universities are signing up for this, schools like Standford, MIT, and Duke University.

This a great way for students to keep up with their classes. They can listen to the lecture as many times as they need and not have to rely on notes that may be leaving important information out. It also comes in handy when a student might not make it to class. Most college kids these days have to work while attending school, this iTunes feature allows students the ability to study when they can, on a break or in the car while traveling to work.

The state of Michigan has even introduce this tool to their K - 12 schools. What a great way to motive students to learn. Bringing students education in a form that they are familiar with increases their chances of learning. iTunes U engages students to learn in way outside of the norm and that always gets the attention of a teenager.
