So, begin- ning this year, to help teachers and schools meet their needs, the California Department of Educa- tion (CDE) has partnered with Apple to launch "CDE on iTunes U," a collection of resources that educators can download at their leisure and free of charge at www.cde.ca.gov/re/mm/it. In addition to professional development tools, the collection includes educational resources like grade-level curriculum and information on the Common Core State Standards. The collection is accessible via mobile device as well as computers. The CDE views it as a central repository where high quality professional devel- opment resources can be shared.
