wagnfun Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Has anyone used anything from iTunes U that would be interesting and appropriate for 8 yr olds? My 13 yr old said there are Disney songs on it. I know there are muscial tunes on it, we've downloaded Wicked & such. I know my dd has downloaded Gospel songs for her dad on it too...

Jen500 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 I was thinking more of some of the free lectures with and w/o video. I was watching part of the series on American Presidents last night. It's hard to tell what might be good for kids without watching or listening to the whole thing myself, first.

Emily in FL Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Go to the College of Education. Click on Lit2Go under Resources for K-12 students and teachers. There are lots and lots of books and poems there for free. Have fun!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Has anyone used anything from iTunes U that would be interesting and appropriate for 8 yr olds? Depends on the 8yo. There is a series of Meet the Author interviews done by WETA. Try searching for "Meet the Author" and they should show up. There may be both video and audio casts to download. Look for a tab near the top of the list to change from video to audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks, both of those look really good. I like that the audiobooks are arranged by grade levels. The WETA stuff has some authors my dc really enjoy, like Kate DiCamillo. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
