Video from WGBH

I thought that the video was extremely helpful. I would definitely use this in my classroom. With this you can show the kids exactly what you are talking about. Instead of just explaining to them without any visual can be hard for them to absorb the information.

With these videos the children will enjoy them and they are learning about the subject that you are teaching about. They are also easy to access to. You just go to itunes and then download the videos that you want. This is very helpful for you and the student. You could have them to go home and watch the video if they have access to the internet. You could also go to the computer lab at the school to do this as a class.

I will use this in my classroom if I have the equipment to do so. This is a very useful tool and so easy to use. I like how itunes is doing this because, where else would you find videos like these to show the kids. The ones that you get from the school are usually boring and the kids don't want to watch them or they fall asleep. Overall I think that this is a very useful tool.

duke universities use of ipods

Duke University distributed ipods to 1600 entering students in 2004. The professosrs were able to provide portable access to course content, capture lectures given in class, capture field notes and interviews, study support tool, and file storage and transfer. The benefits of using this is the convenience for both the faculty and the students, flexible on location, and the it was effective and easy to use. This is a very good idea and think that all colleges should try it and see how it works.

75% of the first year students reported having using at least one ipod feature in a class for independant studies. The bad things about it is that they had difficulties finding commercial sources. They also problems with the limitations of the device and the recordings on the ipod were not very good quality. I think that this could all work great when they get all of the bugs out.

itunes university

Itunes University is designed to let help colleges, universities, and other organizations download educational content. This is very resourceful because a teacher can just tell you what they want you to find and you can go here to find it. You can download it to your ipod just like you would music or other things. The only problem with this would be that if someone doesn't have an ipod. I think that this is a very great idea for colleges and universities to use.

I think that this could be of good use to me as a teacher in the classroom I could tell the kids what to look for so that they could download it for the next day or for an assignment. As a student this could be helpful because I could download whatever the teacher wants me too and I could do it all with my ipod. I could replay it and listen to it whenever i wanted. It could be good because some children do better learning by hearing the material given rather than just reading it. Overall I think that this is a very great idea.
