Objective:  
The participant will demonstrate knowledge of iTunes, specifically educational podcasts and iTunes U, by recognizing how those features of iTunes might be utilized to support curriculum within their learning environment

• Podcasts are online audio or video content made available through the Internet using a subscription "feed".
  
• iTunes is one source of FREE podcasts for education. 
  
• Just as Safari Montage provides audio-visual support for your curriculum, so can well-selected podcasts, and as such, need to be directly tied to the curriculum.
  
• Podcasts can provide expertise/information that is beyond the scope of the classroom teacher, such as an interview with a biologist regarding shark reproduction, extra practice with Spanish or writing tips from an author.
  
• As always, when selecting support materials, teachers must use professional discretion when choosing podcasts for use with students.
  
• ALWAYS PREVIEW  a Podcast before using it with students!
