PBS videos for educators hit iTunes U
The ongoing expansion of edu-world content in iTunes continues with Friday's addition of PBS to iTunes U (direct link); teaching support videos and instructional content from KQED, WETA, WNET thirteen, WGBH and more. Video clips that illustrate science, geography or history (including segments from Ken Burns' documentary The War) are accompanied by PDF lesson plans and educator's guides -- awful handy!While all the iTunes U PBS content is free to download and use, the PBS shows already on iTunes remain for-pay. Too bad -- I suppose I'll have to pay $4.99 a show if I'm going to grab some NOVA episodes and settle in.

"PDF lesson plans and educator's guides"
I think this is great. I'll have to check this out. I am hoping that they will have PBS Kids programing and guides as well.
I looked for iTunes U on the AppleTV a while ago, but couldn't find them. Are they available to ATV users? Seems like some good content there.

iTunes-U seems to be free resources for learning, these are for pay, and not even in the iTunes-U section… They are in with the rest of the PBS TV for-pay content.

There is indeed a PBS section of iTunes U now. You can find it in the "BEYOND CAMPUS" box at the bottom right of the iTunes U page. I do believe Michael even acknowledged the existence of the existing pay-to-play PBS content elsewhere in the store...

First URL needs a http:// removal :).
