About: I'm an instructional designer at the Hunter College Campus Schools. I support the effective use of technology in schools and classrooms.

I am also keen on the role of games in education. Please find below an ever-changing picture of me. You know, just in case you were curious.

PBS videos on iTunes

Monday, April 14, 2008

PBS videos have come to iTunes. 

Free? Yup
Good? Check.
Available? Yes.
Accessible on a multitude of devices? Yarp

When people ask me “How does technology make a difference in the actual education of our kids?” I often stress multimedia.  That is, using multimedia enlivens and enriches ideas in a way normal media can’t. I’m aware of other multimedia sites, (you tube, this list, and of course google), but nothing beats PBS for sheer quality.

This is great, great news.
