iTunes U Course
Our Year 2 teacher, Rebecca Tapscott was chosen to attend an Apple professional development course in Sydney last term to learn about the use of iTunes U in education. iTunes U courses let teachers create and manage their course. Students can experience the course all from the iTunes U app on iPad. From this professional development, Miss Tapscott was required to develop a course to share with educators from all over Australia. On Friday, Miss Tapscott published a course based on the Year 2 unit of inquiry on How the world works - Forces.
The feedback from the Apple reviewer was that the course was "absolutely standout! A fantastic job." The Apple team also commented on the curriculum mapping with the UOIs; they were highly impressed.
The How the world works - Forces iTunes U course can now be accessed and taught by teachers all over Australia. We are thrilled that the Year 2 Boys were able to share their work through their unit of inquiry and the amazing ways they used their iPads to learn about forces.
