SAN ANTONIO, TX, Jul 01, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) — The State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) today announced the availability of a wealth of free content for K-12 educators on Apple’s iTunes U. Arizona, Florida, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Utah, along with school districts, museums and other educational institutions are now sharing resources not only for K-12 educators in their own states, but for teachers around the world. This initiative creates a destination where professional development, curricula resources, examples of best practices and student samples are easily accessible.

 

"This comprehensive collection of quality digital content offers teachers and students a single location to access resources on topics from Florida history to the Navajo language to nano technologies," said Dr. Mary Ann Wolf, SETDA’s Executive Director. "Teachers can now access these resources in real-time to support teaching and learning. The new K-12 resources on iTunes U address the critical need to engage students through technology-based resources in the core curriculum areas."
