Itunes for Education

I love using itunes in my classroom. I am impressed with the amount of educational content available for purchase through the itunes store. I no longer buy physical dvds for my classroom from sites like history.com, National geographic or PBS. I can purchase these same programs from the itunes store for a lot less money and they often times come in hd. It is easy to find programs in the itunes store. You can view a list of networks that have programs in the store and go directly to the network page to see what is available.

I have used itunes for music for a few years now. I really like incorporating music in my classroom. It is interesting to link music with themes and cultures in social studies. Not only do I use my own purchased music but I like using the radio stations that are available. There is a good selection.
