This tutorial is the story of how I happened upon a way to teach iTunes to adapt to my changing musical tastes by giving it what I might want to listen to and then training it to weed out what I’m not in the mood for.

Apple and Pearson today announced an expansion of their relationship to enhance teaching and learning through technology. Pearson will acquire PowerSchool, Apple’s award-winning student information systems (SIS) division, and develop new services for educators and students, including research-based educational content compatible with iPod, the world’s most popular digital music player.
Teachers will have access to podcasts on professional development to help with lesson preparation and provide innovative ways to reach students struggling with specific content. Students will be able to load their iPods with study guides that are aligned with Pearson texts and listen to review notes to prepare for exams.
Earlier this school year, Apple and Pearson collaborated to bring digital versions of Pearson textbooks and workbooks to California schools using the Mac mini.

According to the article, the ad displays good marketing savvy and, experts believe, that this kind of thing is going to become increasingly more common as video production becomes more accessible and people take it upon themselves to evangelize their passions.
