=PERSONAL= 1PasswordThis application keeps track of your user names and passwords in one spot. I am excited about how this application will store all of my information in one secure database, instead of in my calendar, which I have to rewrite every January. Bump This application is used to exchange contact information with the ease of just "bumping" iPhones with your contact. I will use this app to exchange information with my more technology forward friends and colleagues. SportsTap Sports Tap keeps track of live professional sports when you can't be in front of the TV. This application will be nice during football season, when I am in Wisconsin trying to watch a Bears game. Mint Mint keeps track of your finances and posts the status of all of your accounts. I will use this app so that I am more aware of my finances and spending while working on my personal budget. Shazam Hold your iPod up to the speaker when a song is playing and Shazam will tell you the name and artist of the song. This will help me in those moments where I am stumped and just need the answer to my musical questions. Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker This application helps you in your journey towards weight loss. Set goals, enter calorie intake, search caloric amounts, and log exercise for the day. This application will inform you of your progress towards your goal and keep you accountable. I am going to use this app to help me in my personal goal of losing my winter weight.

=SCHOOL= Speller Speller does exactly what the title says, checks your spelling. I will use this app to help end the never ending question I get as a teacher, "How do you spell.....?" States and Capitals The States and Capitals app teaches the 50 states(name, location and shape), capitals, and abbreviations. Game includes a timed memory matching game. I plan on having my students use this app to practice for the states and capitals test. Flashcards!This fact fact application includes a practice mode and a quiz mode. Statistics can be kept on your progress. I will use this application as part of a center in my math curriculum. This would solve the problem of not having enough computers in my classroom. Grammar UpGrammar up is a quiz application that helps you practice and review the parts of speech. I would use this during our parts of speech unit as a center. MathPad4 - Word ProblemsMathPad4 is an interactive interface which helps students practice their problem solving skills. The problems are based using addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. One unique feature is that you can set number ranges to change the degree of difficulty for the user. Again, I would use this application in a center during math, either to reinforce problem solving skills or to challlenge some students at the beginning of the year.
