I tunes U

I think iTunesU is a another great invention "OUR" generation has come up with. Every University can create their own iTunesU which means every student has access to what's being offered on iTunes. Everything from lectures, lab demonstrations, notes,to study guides can be found on this site. For the college student this can be a very good thing, most of the time I can't make it to class ItunesU would be a very helpful way of getting the information I missed that particular day. The only backdrop of students relying on this new tool is complying with the schools attendance policy.


I would use iTunesU if I were a college professor or high school teacher. the reason being is I feel that younger children need eye to eye contact and there are a lot of parents in the world who would strongly rely on iTunes or some of the children won't access or the means to purchase an ipod or computer. So until everyone can have access to the materials required to use this site I don't think i would incorporate it into my class. However, I will use it for the duration of my collegian journey.

Wikipedia

I first learned about Wikipedia while at Bishop State Community college. My history teacher gave our class a search assignment, she told us to us any resource available to us. She strongly advised against Wikipedia. At the time I had no clue of what Wikipedia was and quite frankly I'm glad. Some of my class chose not to follow the advice of our teacher almost all of their information was bogus.
I don't, well actually I do anyone can do anything with the internet now. However, some of these privilages come at a high cost for college students like us. How do we know the information we are getting is true?
