Itunes university

The amount of audio and video podcasts available in general, and for educators in particular, on Itune University, is just amazing. IU allows you to search all what the very best colleges and universities have to offer for free (if you want credits, get your credit card). You can search by school, topic, curriculum area...conferences, debates, interviews, entire courses, from 10 minutes quick demos to presentation of more than an hour... Of course, most if it is college level,and should be considered a form of PD (soon, we should consider a way for teachers to get credits for podcasts). However, a quick search shows that some material can be integrated into a high school classroom. You do not need an Ipod. Using Itunes, you can download and play audio and videos on any computer. You can also burn them on a DVD or CD and, last but not least,you can play them anywhere on ipods.
For downloading Itunes for free, go there.
