Using Apps in the Classroom, iTunes U Courses

Again, I’m looking at some iTunes U resources. This time, I’m looking at the Puppet Pals HD course. This resource allows for teachers to have a vast wealth of apps available for their use in the classroom. The one I’m focusing on focuses on ages “5-14+.”

When opening iTunes U, it can be found under Educators, and then Using Apps in the Classroom. There are 18 courses available, ranging from Hopscotch, to Puppet Pals HD, to Scoodle Jam. Each course has their own unique twist on how to use apps in the classroom.

When you download it, it shows up in your iBooks app. You can then open the iBook for your selected course, in my case Puppet Pals HD, and then start exploring the depths of activities they include. Included are many activities for varying ages, including interviews with famous people, or translating things.
