This blog presented a problem for me. The computer I use is not mine. My parents own it and let me use it. My dad doesn't like any kind of Apple product and refuses to let me download iTunes to his computer. We already have a music program and I didn't want the Apple program to enterfear with the program previously purchased.
Dr.Strange said I needed to post a blog about problems I experienced with this blog post. I think like all programs there are pros and cons. But after thinking about whether or not I would use iTunes, I really don't think I would, not in my classroom where students have the full use of the iTunes store. I think that using this in an elementary classroom could really open up a door for a lawsuit. I can see it now, "Elementary teacher accused of letting her students watch sexually explicit music videos, Parents are suing". Even if I used this program for the educational side of it, kids will abuse it, and I would still get in trouble. However, if I could download an educational video and put it directly on the student's computer, where the student wouldn't have to visit the iTunes site, I would consider that.
