More iTunes

iTunes University is a very useful tool for teachers. Under the WGBH section in the teacher's domain, there are many useful educational videos. These videos could be used from kindergarten through twelfth grade and maybe even college level also. There are over 1000 free educational videos available.

These resources are in the subjects of Earth and Space Science, Engineering, Life Science and Physical Science. iTunes also offers a very large variety of other educational media as well.

Online science courses are offered for teachers for professional development. These courses include teaching elementary and middle school life science and teaching high school biology.

In summary, the teachers domain basically features public television educational multimedia and classroom resources for teachers to use in order to educate students more effectively.
