States add K-12 educational composition to iTunes U

Users of iTunes U, the free educational subject matter channel inside iTunes, will have a lot more elementary education material to choose from — the states of Arizona, Florida, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Utah have all added some of their K-12 material to the mix, and a number of school districts and museums from those states have plus contributed videos and audio recordings.

The composition is being uploaded by the SETDA, or the State Educational Technology Directors Association, which has been working with educators in member states to

produce more use of educational technology. that is definitely a great view — not only does it produce that material much more accessible to educators and students alike, but anyone on iTunes can view and check out these resources through Apple’s program.

Plus, it’s a great way to distribute student work to a much larger audience. You can find most of the new substance under the “K-12″ tab on the iTunes U homepage within iTunes.
