Thing 14 - Itunes U...

Well, this was my first time using iTunes U.  And let me say that even though I watched the 'Understanding iTunes U' video clip, I was still overwhelmed at where to start in exploring it.  There is so much to check out!!  I spent a while checking out different courses offered, iBooks for teachers, and different apps that are out there for our students by using the Learning Resources - 'Learning at Every Level'.
One course that I thought was interesting to explore more is 'Fall in Love with Real-Life Math'.  I know that thing that I'm always sharing with my students is that we use math all the time...everywhere.  This course seems to offer  projects that bring math into real-life situations.  I look forward to looking into this course more when I have time.  I could see myself sharing this with my grade level colleagues and our building math facilitator.
I did find a few iBooks that I thought were cool to look further in to, mainly the Starter Guides.  For example, I downloaded the iMovie for IOS starter guide.  I'm glad that I found the starter guide, and intend to use it in doing more work with iMovie.  I have messed around with iMovie on my own, and have looked for some kind of 'how to' guide outside of video tutorials on YouTube.  Needless to say I'm glad that I found it on iTunes U.
Like I stated before I found a bunch of apps that I think would be good in 'Learning at Every Level' on the iTunes U intro page.  I often find that I'm randomly searching for good iPad apps for my students, and it seems like 'Learning at Every Level' has done a nice job of organizing apps for different subject areas (I can definitely see myself going back here during the school year).
Overall, I'm glad that I've had the time to check out iTunes U.  Like I stated above there is a ton of stuff to look at.  I want to take more time after this course is over to check it out and see how I can adapt some of the courses, iBooks, and of course apps to my teaching/classroom.
