What is this? PRESS HERE TO SEE MY TUTORIAL ON iTUNES:
No one hasn’t heard of iPad, iPhones, or even iTunes, but the lingering misconception still remains that iTunes can only be used with Mac products!!! Well, that’s not true!!! Thanks to Russell Stannard who emphasized on many occasions that
‘You don’t need an iPad or iPhone to make the most of iTunes and iTunes You’
He also talked about the recent technological advancement in technology, specifically the ones applicable in education. In addition, he added that we are all members of an online community that is sharing the information instead of being cocooned in our secluded words and lag behind the trail of global development. He referenced Vance Stevens in what he called establishment pipes of networking to collaboratively share, exchange, and improve our conceptions on a specific matter.
Simply, just type iTunes, download it for free, and start learning.
How to use it?
It’s an absolutely amazing tool for autonomous learning that contains tons of authentic podcasts as well as vodcasts that are installable free of charge by clicking the get button . The sky’s the limit!!!!! You can choose from a variety for languages, technology,, math, history, physics, math, science, medicine, management to life-surviving, personal, and professional development authentic materials. In addition, these are automatically downloadable onto your computer once you have pressed the subscribe button. Here are onlysome of the vodcasts available for learniong languages:
iTunes You is definitely your choice if you want to get accredited educational materials from the most prestigious and upscale universities in the world like Cambridge, Oxford, Warwick, MIT, and The Open University. It also contains materials from TV shows and newscasts. Here is a list of some of these:
• A source of substantial number of unlimited downloadable audio-visual authentic materials that are updated on a regular basis.
• It has got materials from the most distinguished Universities and institutions around the world like Oxbridge, Ohio, and The Smithsonian.
• A large number of these materials are for free. Not to mention, they are completely automatically downloaded on your computer once you have subscribed to them!!!
• An extra advantage would be to have them automatically downloaded on your iPad or iPhone, but again not a prerequisite!
• It is true that these materials can be integrated in a meaningful way as parts of a lesson. However, they are mainly used to create and develop autonomous and intrinsic motivation for students who will be flicking through educational materials of their own interest and enjoy them at the same time!!!! Subsequently, students will be engrossed in riveting activities that they have decided on being engaged with which will ensure their creativity along with an increase of their awareness in their self-worth and inert skills to develop.
Limitations:
The only obvious limitations are the ones related to students’ access to fairly-speedy internet that allows them to access iTunes store and automatically download the available materials.
