Alright, I just got finished exploring the wonderful world of iTunes University and I just have to say that it might be one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I am just fascinated at how someone has turned what was originally meant to only provide hours and hours of pointless, brain draining entertainment into something educational. I watched the video about booming sands. I found it completely thrilling. All of these videos would be excellent supplements to lessons in the classroom. I know that I am a visual learner, and having something to watch and actually demonstrate what goes on in science helps me understand the concept so much better than some boring teacher lecturing straight out of the book.
I really think these podcasts are an excellent tool to use in the classroom. You can find a lot of really cool ones on pretty much every subject that is taught. Using technology in this way also makes the students pay attention more because they think it's really cool! We are fortunate in many ways to be teaching in a world with so many advances that make our jobs more thrilling! I just hope I can keep up!
