I’m hooked on offerings at iTunes U.
I’m currently listening to Music and the Brain. Next up is Behind the Veil a collection of oral history interviews documenting African-Amercan life during the age of legal segregation. Then a series on game design…then…a drawing program…then a Photoshop tutorial. I may never sleep again!
Are iTunes U progams being incorporated into classes? Just wondering.-

Alyssa in Marketing and I have been working on setting up a Briar Cliff iTunes U page but it’s been slow-going around other projects and some technical difficulties. But I would also love to know if anyone has used iTunes U content in their classes? Great stuff out there from Stanford, Oxford, and many, many others.

I can answer that with a YES! SSS has offered a small variety of content for both Study Skills and reading classes. We’ve used a short program purchased from iTunes (a cartoon on procrastination) as well as portions of videos from iTunesU and PBS that provided interesting background for the reading assignments. There is a lot of terrific content out there – a small investment of time is all it takes to find something that can be applied to a class!

Black Friday App Sales
As you might expect, a lot of apps went on sale today. Some of the more exciting offerings I’ve seen for the day:
Shakespeare Pro – dropped from $10 to $7
PDF Expert – dropped from $10 to $7
Star Walk – dropped from $5 to $4
SketchBook Pro – dropped from $5 to $1 !! this is the cheapest the app has ever been
Art Authority – dropped from $10 to $5
and to fight off those holiday pounds, Gorilla Workout (no equipment or gym needed) dropped from $2 to $1
Remember, when you’re searching apps in the App Store to always get your apps from the top “iPad” section, not the bottom “iPhone” section.
Happy holidays!
