I learned many things from taking this class. One of them was how to access, I have never used this application before and I find it useful for the future. Another thing I learned in class was how to use publisher, when I become a teacher and have my own classroom I know having this knowledge will help in making things for my room such as, classroom rules and procedures, upcoming events, and also a classroom calender. I also learned a lot about how much technology has changed and how other people use certain technology, I learned this by researching for the different blog post that were due each week.

Week 12

On the apple website they describe iTunes University as a program that gives students twenty four hour access to educational content from top colleges, universities, and educationally focused education across the country, but is only accessible for students who have a Mac or PC. Students can sync their iPod or iPhone so they can update their iPod anytime and anywhere. iTunes University also has where teachers can open all or some of their content to students, parents, and alumni. Teachers can do more than uploading just worksheets, teachers can make videos and add audio to make the subject more interesting than just an average worksheet.
I think this would be a great thing to do as a teacher. This would be a good thing for a teacher to do if a student where to be absent one day the teacher could post the days work and what they learned that day in school. The only problem I see with this is what if students do not have an iPod or iPhone nor a Mac? It seems as though some students could be left out of the technology because their family could not afford the piece of technology. When I searched further for who uses iTunes University, popular schools such as Berkley, Philadelphia University, and Sanford all use this for their students to further their learning.
