iTunes U isn't just for universities anymore. There are sections for K-12 and something called Beyond Campus. The K-12 is obvious; schools, districts, and teachers may apply for an iTunes U site, then, once accepted begin uploading videos, podcasts, audio files, and pdfs. The Beyond Campus section is composed of museums, educational television stations, and other educational organizations that are not traditional bricks and mortar institutions. Everything on iTunes U is available free of charge.

Check out K-12, Florida Department of Education for PD and subject resources. We went to the Pre Calc video and got an entire video lesson that could be immediately used in the classroom.

Several of the K-12 sites have Professional Development files, as well as curriculum.

The Beyond Campus area has lots of possibilities. The U.S. Holocaust Museum has a lot of teacher resources, podcasts, etc. It would be a great addition to any WWII or Social Justice class.

The best part is the FREE part.
