<p>I recently finished developing a course using the new iTunesU course creator. It was an interesting experience which I've reflected on over on my <a href="http://electriceducator.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-build-course-for-itunesu.html" target="_blank">blog</a>.</p>
<p>The course that I created is a professional development course titled "<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/course/google-in-the-classroom/id517678928?ls=1" target="_blank">Google in the Classroom</a>." The course is designed…</p>
<p>I recently finished developing a course using the new iTunesU course creator. It was an interesting experience which I've reflected on over on my <a href="http://electriceducator.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-build-course-for-itunesu.html" target="_blank">blog</a>.</p>
<p>The course that I created is a professional development course titled "<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/course/google-in-the-classroom/id517678928?ls=1" target="_blank">Google in the Classroom</a>." The course is designed to help teachers learn how to use various Google products (Docs, Sites, Calendar, etc) in their classroom. I included lots of project ideas from educators around the country to get people started. You can view/access the course <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/course/google-in-the-classroom/id517678928?ls=1" target="_blank">here</a>. </p>
<p>The best part about the new iTunesU is the ability to organize course material in a logical sequence is. My only complaint is the lack of 2-way communication between the instructor and the students. I'd love to see a discussion board feature added to allow instructors to receive feedback and questions from students. That would make the iTunesU app a powerful learning tool.</p>
<p>If anyone else has/is using the iTunesU course creator, I'd be interested in hearing about your experience. This is a pretty new tool that hasn't gotten a lot of use yet, so I'm interested in hearing the thoughts/experience of others. </p> Looking for Educational Appstag:www.classroom20.com,2010-11-10:649749:Topic:5339682010-11-10T01:05:31.274ZAlexandra Briggshttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/AlexandraBriggs
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm an ITRT in VA and my division currently has iPod Touches and iPads available for student use. Many teachers are having their students use these tools at the Elementary and Middle School level, but we're having trouble getting High School teachers to plan use of these devices into their lessons. Any suggestions of good educational apps and/or lesson plan ideas for using iPods and iPads?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<strong>Eyes past print</strong><br />
<br />
Modeling fluent reading. Introduction of outside text every period of every day in every class. The opportunity to bring relevance to adolescents. With whole-school immersion in text and reading, ideas and concepts naturally follow. The teacher reads, the student follow along a copy of the text. Content-area literacy expert, Janet Allen calls it “<em>eyes past print with voice support.</em>” At my school, we call it a requirement... one element of a building-wide literacy plan.<br />
<br />
Two years ago, after our sit-down session with <a href="http://www.janetallen.org/" target="_blank">Janet Allen</a> in Orlando, Florida, our leadership team decided on a school-wide implementation of this strategy as an element of our focus on literacy skills. Co-Principal in charge of instruction, Jeanette Westfall, was a former elementary teacher, high school communication arts teacher and instructional coach. There is no doubt that her background helped her decide that a non-negotiable approach to reading improvement across content areas was a valuable thing given our situation.<br />
