iSchool Project Overview:
Travis Allen formed the iSchool Initiative after coming to the sober realization that we can’t wait for government and school board bureaucrats to bring technology into our classrooms. This non-profit organization began with the simple idea that Apple's popular iPod Touch just might be a solution for cost effective technology in schools. On May 11th of 2009, the day after Travis turned 18 years old, he registered the iSchool Initiative with the Secretary of State of Georgia as a non-profit corporation dedicated to bringing technology solutions to classrooms across America. i[|School Initiative Website] [|iSchool Initiative Facebook Page] [|iSchool Advocates on Twitter]

iTunes
<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What can iTunes do for you? The iTunes program installed on your computer stores the music, videos, ebooks, podcasts, and applications purchased or download from the iTunes store, music you purchase from other sources (such as Amazon), and music you import from CD’s. The music store helps you shop for music by gathering information about what other purchasers of the same content have bought. You can create playlists of music—something reminiscent of a mixed tape. iTunes hosts iTunes University, a collection of lessons, lectures from school districts and universities around the world. And let’s not forget the thousands and thousands of podcasts and videos also available in iTunes. Let’s take a look at iTunes together!
