The document discusses how teachers can utilize iTunes U and curate digital content to create personalized learning experiences for students. It provides examples of how the Punahou School in Hawaii has implemented a "Curated Classroom" using iTunes U by having teachers create course collections on the platform featuring open educational resources like videos and PDFs. Teachers are encouraged to take on the role of curators and storytellers to compile and share great free content that enriches learning. Details are also provided about how to set up and manage courses on iTunes U.

curators, or something like that,
talked about how to find great free
content on iTunes U, and showed us

iTunes U page. Want to grab a beer?”

9. “The keys to the kingdom are changing
hands. The future belongs to a very
different kind of person with a different
kind of mind—creators and empathizers,
pattern recognizers and meaning
makers. These people—artists, inventors,
designers, storytellers, care-givers,
consolers, big picture thinkers—will now
reap society’s richest rewards.”
Daniel Pink
