iTunes U..yes please!

Wow. We need this. I think that iTunes University is an amazing idea. I really like the thought of being able to access my class information on my ipod while I'm busy running errands during the day. I think that this is a great idea. You could be listening to lectures you didn't understand while you pick up some groceries. You could prep for class by listening to the previous lecture on your walk to the room. I think that this is a totally important and ingenius idea.

In my previous blog I mentioned how it might be a distraction for students to have such a multi-facited device with them at all times, but I think once you reach the college level, that this wouldn't be as much of a problem. More mature students recognize that work must be done and so I think that having it with you at all times would be an incredible advantage.
