Add ActivTips to Your iTunes Collection



ActivTips iTunes, originally uploaded by todbaker.

I just discovered ActivTips in Promethean Planet. The first video, Revealer Tool, downloaded in just a few minutes. This is one of a collection of podcast videos that focus on using ActivClassroom software.

The link in the photo didn’t work for me, so I manually opened iTunes and entered ActivTips in the search window. It came up right away. I pressed the subscribe button and now I’ll automatically get new podcasts when they are published. All of the videos are right around 3 minutes long.

I watch or listen to most of my podcasts on my way home from work. My podcasts have turned what used to be an unproductive and boring ride home into a enjoyable ride that I can customize with podcasts and songs that fit my mood. They also have given dish washing and other household chores an attractive side.

If you are not using iTunes, I highly recommend that you check out its rich collection of resources. My iPod is now one of the best tools I have for on demand, anytime learning and entertainment. I rarely leave home without it.
