Some good looking apps listed below. It's a two step process to itunes from these links. I should probably explore further to see if there's an easy way to find these. They may not all be ipad apps either.

Now that we have just added the Android, iPad, and iPhone categories to the "Technology Types" I'm working to catalog all of the apps that I've encountered recently. Your discussion post reminds me that I should do a little each day! Here's what I added this morning:

As you try these, perhaps, you could rate them? And as you use any in the classroom, perhaps, you could add comments and/or start a specific discussion for that app. I have a few more to add but this is a start!

Thanks,

Note Taking

Smart note, I think, is better than Note taker. Easier to use because you see writing in real time.

Note Taking HD App

I found a note taking app that might work quite well as a portable white board that some of us are interested in. It does have a free version, but that one as some ads on it. I think the app is 4.99. I am going to play with the free version a little more. It has capabilities of adding photos from a file, things like number lines, and more. It allows the useful write with a finger and it is very clear. Anyway, something to look at.

JiJi Math

Hi Frank,
I just discovered two apps of interest. The first is a free one from Successmaker called Speed Games by Pearson for grades 1-6. When my son wakes up, I'm going to have him try it. The other is a JiJi math game app from Mind Institute. It only offers basic levels for the Kickbox game and the paid version offers more levels of the same game. Perhaps the company will offer more options in the future.

I've installed another free app called Teacher Pal. It is an attendance and grade app. I'm thinking about using it for my Monday writing class. It is very easy to use, but it is very limited. Has anyone come across a free grading program?

Thank you and have a great day!
Marie

The biggest complaint administrators and teachers have is too much paper. "Where did I put that note?" is a common refrain heard in school offices and classrooms everywhere. The solution? Welcome to the iPad. Use less paper and never worry about which pad you jotted a note on or be late for an appointment again!

The search for the perfect notebook has been a never-ending task. An administrator or teacher needs to have an intuitive app that accepts PDFs, can handwrite notes, type text, keep notes in files, and offers an audio component.
