Apple is making great strides in contributing to the educational and technological world that we live and function in today. Our students are using more and more updated technology each year and teachers often are forced to keep up with the same technology. However, with Apple, keeping up with technology is not as hard as it always may seem. Apple has a program called Itunes U, which is short for Itunes University. It is a place where you can look at notes, lectures, coursework, etc. and learn much of the material you would learn in a regular classroom if you take the time to explore the subject. This is a wonderful resource for personal learning but Itunes U also provides many functions for teachers. Teachers can create classes with Itunes U and use their material to teach their classes, along with providing materials to students at the touch of a button. In addition to this, Itunes U also works closely with iBooks to help supplement materials that are taught in class. This is a wonderful resource for teachers and students. I hopefully will be able to use this technology in a classroom in the future.
Apple also has many other educational products that you can learn more about by clicking on the link below:
