Free: iTunes

The iTunes Store offers more than just music, movies, and TV shows. There are thousands of free educational podcasts available for download from iTunes. Simply click "Podcasts" from the iTunes Store home page. Then click "Education." From here, find everything: Language (including ESL), Math, Grammar, Science, and public domain AudioBooks. Dig around! There's something for every class.

Classroom ideas:

• Use the grammar, math, or any podcast for that matter, as exam review for your students.


• Have English Language Learners use the many ESL/ELL podcasts to practice their language skills. Go one better and use an iPod for "anytime, anywhere" language acquisition.

For Mac or PC.
