ITunes U

    I had a lot of fun playing with and learning about ITunes U.  At first it all seemed very overwhelming.  There is just SO MUCH on the site, and I wasn't sure how to go about finding things that pertained to me.  But the more that I explored and used the different search/category options I was able to find a few things that I found very valuable.  
    For example,  I found a course called Deeper Thinking with Apps.  This particular course goes through a number of IPad apps and shows how you can use them in Kindergarten and 1st Grade classrooms.  There were a number of apps that I hadn't heard of, and they had some great ideas for how I could adapt the apps to Kindergarten, which is so difficult!  I especially loved that the "teacher" gave slides of things that you would need to consider before you started using the app.  
    Another fun course that I explored had math lessons that were directed to Kindergarten.  It showed videos of the whole lesson actually being taught in a classroom.  They also had different ideas for questioning, and assessment.  
    I think I could also use this app in my personal life anytime that I want to learn about something new.  There really is no end to the possibilities!
