App: Writing
PromptsWho would it benefit? All students, but particularly students who have difficulty coming up with ideas for writing.
How would you use it? I would use it with everyone to start, by demonstrating it for the class. Then¸ I would give my students time to explore and choose a writing prompt, perhaps in pairs. Then, individually. Then, it would become a tool available for students as they wanted to use it! I would also have my students add their ideas to it because it has that capability.
Cost $1.99
App: Writing TipsWhat Is it? An app that has an abundance of writing tips.
Who would it benefit? All students
How would you use it? I would use this with everyone in the beginning to introduce it. Then, I would have my students explore it to find helpful tips and share them in groups. I would encourage its usage independently as well.

App: Note Taker LiteWhat Is it? An app where you can write your notes in handwriting on the IPod.
Who would it benefit? Everyone! Teachers included!
How would you use it? I would use this with all students (and some staff!). It allows one to write notes on the screen by hand and then saves them. They can be converted to jpegs to email! A great little tool to use in the classroom torecord important information; ie: notes, dates, events ,etc.
