10 Great iPad Apps (and a few amazing ones!)

Apps are what make the iPad a magical and powerful learning tool. I'm pretty agnostic about what are the best apps. For me, thinking about the domains of what my iPad can do is a better way to think about apps and which ones to use.

I've organized the apps below by domains such as productivity and note taking.

When thinking about apps I have three qualities I want to see and understand. They are:

1. Apps should do one thing and do it well.
2. Apps should share well.
3. Apps should disappear and the job or task at hand should be my focus. 30/30. Plickers. Microsoft OneNote – lists, photos, and notes, organized in a notebook. Evernote. iBrainstorm. Post-it® Plus.
