Skitch

This is one I have talked about before, but am finding more and more usage for.  I can take a photo of a tool that a visually impaired kiddo uses and access it through the Skitch app.  Once the photo is there, you can draw on the photo, type on it, label parts of it, etc.  I have used it with maps too.  You can make notes on a map, draw a route, etc.  I can imagine it would be helpful in teaching a variety of concepts to non-visually impaired students.  It's free!

FREE Visual Timer

Vis TimerFree - a countdown timer similar to Time Timer.  Max is 5 minutes; can change color, add digital countdown, etc.

Free Cloudon to edit Word/Excel Documents on iPad FREE

Cloudon is a nice little app that lets you edit word and excel documents on the iPad. The app is free. It works with Dopbox, Box, and Google Drive. The cloud storage systems are uploaded to Cloudon so you can edit a document from Dropbox without opening multiple apps. It's free and a great tool to get some work done on the go.

Just spotted an APP called Ninja Fruit that would be great for OT!

Does anyone keep student data on the iPad?  If so, with what app?  I am looking to go paperless and need some advice.  I've tried "Teacher Notes"- no dice.

Any suggestions are appreciated:)
