ITunes U

It has been a little while since I have posted on this blog.  I have been busy with my personal blog (http://paintcreektn.wordpress.com), looking for work, doing lots of spring activities (planting, making rose petal syrup, putting up strawberries, etc..) and traveling some. This has been a busy spring so far.

I have been using ITunes U (U for University) recently and I thought I would do a post about it, in case you haven’t heard about it or perhaps haven’t used it yet. 

ITunes U is a free service offered by Apple.  Apple’s motto for ITunes U is “Learn anything, anywhere, anytime”.  ITunes U is a free learning service.  It has lectures, audio books, video, music, course material, pdf files, etc...For more details about what is on ITunes U, click here.

A lot of major universities use ITunes U, but other organizations use it as well – PBS, Museums, New York public Library, etc..   This is a wonderful learning tool that is free.  I love that.  To see a short and fun overview of ITunes on youtube, click here.

ITunes U can be accessed using your IPhone, IPod or the ITunes program on your computer.  I won’t outline step by step what you need to do to use ITunes, I will provide a couple of Youtube video links that will give you the details you need and of course you can continue your own learning by searching youtube for more video tutorials, do a Google search for more information on ITunes U, or perhaps look through ITunes U and see what is there. 

Here are some Youtube links for ITunes U:

I hope you enjoy learning and using ITunes U.
