=Miscellaneous iPad apps=

__Songify__ Free App If a student is having trouble remembering something and they learn better with the aide of music, this app turns recorded speech into a song. (Retzer)

__TED__ Free App

A collection of inspirational and content speeches ranging from 3 minutes to 20 minutes. (Retzer)

__Red Stamp__ Free App

If you want to send any type of electronic card, announcement or thank you this app provides the template. You can also personalize with pictures of students or their work. (Retzer)

__Lino__ Free App This is an online bulletin board with stickee notes. You could paste daily stickee notes to yourself, and you will receive an e-mail notification of your daily stickee notes. However, I have personally used it as a group review. From the previous lesson I had identified three or four main concepts and wrote questions on a colored stickee. Then each small group was responsible for answering their assigned colored stickee. After this was completed the large group reviewed everyone's answers by logging on to the website, which immediately displayed the posts on the stickee notes. (Retzer)

__Google Search__ Free App

This app allows you to easily search the internet. It contains functions (like the swipe function) specifically for the iPad. (Retzer)

__How Stuff Works__ Free App

This is a place to access articles, videos and quizzes on a wide range of topics. I have found this app useful for students who want to further investigate a specific topic he is interested in. (Retzer)

__Trip Advisor__ Free App

App allows you to find information (hotel, dining, and entertainment) for any location. It often includes user reviews and photos. This app would be very useful for projects involving basic travel information and budgeting. (Retzer)

__Skype__ Free App

The app bascially allows you to use skype on the iPad. You need to have a skype account, which is easy to get. (Retzer)

__Animoto__ This app allows you to create and view movies using photos from your iPad or you can access online accounts you can easily set up to store your photos. This app is very easy, and it gets around difficulties when students are not allowed to download their photos. However, you do not have as much creative input as some movie makers. You do get to chose the layout, photos and music. Great for student projects. (Retzer)

There is a free version of the app that includes Rhyming Words, Analog Time, and Addition.
