Once you subscribe to a podcast, each new episode gets downloaded to a computer automatically and then is synced to an iPod. The iTunes Store is one of the best sources for education-related podcasts, with a section of content for education. You'll find shows produced by students, professional development materials from other educators, podcasts designed to help with learning a new language, and podcasts from museums. You and your students can also create and post podcasts to the iTunes Store. (See "Producing Podcasts with GarageBand" later in this guide.) iTunes displays podcasts you've subscribed to in the Podcasts section in the iTunes window's sidebar. See "Resources" later in this guide for a link to tutorials about subscribing to podcasts. Locating Movies, Music, Speeches, and Other Media In addition to podcasts and audiobooks, you can also use other types of existing content with iPod touch and iTunes. You can browse through the iTunes Store to locate a variety of other media to enhance your curriculum, such as documentary movies, famous speeches, and children's music.
