iTunes U

iTunes U is something I was not familiar with until I started using iTunes in education. iTunes you is all FREE content. It is usually published or sponsored by a college or university, and contains videos, books, lectures, and audiobooks. More than 800 universities contribute to this collection. The only thing you need to remember is when you are syncing, go to the iTunes U tab at the top, and make sure your iPads are set to sync all new content from iTunes U. It is not a default setup, you have to choose it. Then it is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

We mostly use videos from here. Since students cannot access Youtube from their accounts, we find videos and load them onto each iPad. Then all the student has to do is open up iTunes.
The process:
To open up iTunes click on the iTunes app in the bottom row of your iPad



Once in iTunes click on the iTunes U tab on the side of the screen
