iTunesU  More than music.

You might know iTunes in connection with iPods and they might belong to the forbidden gadgets in the school you work for. iTunesU is a way to share lectures and more and it is free. You  can use it with kids, or university students. With ipads, or computers.

 Introduction to iTunesU

How to use iTunesU    

There is so much to look at! Where to start? I recommend to have a look at dyscolar to get an overview of a few universities using iTunesU and the courses they have to offer. Chose a video or podcast and plan your next lesson. You are always welcome to write a guest article about your experiences with iTunesu on this blog.

Who applies Mobile Learning?
