Screen Shot 2012-09-26 at 12.58.25 PM.pngGoodreader: $4.99 ( I know this sounds pricey, but wait until you learn what it can do...byt the way, all your instructors with an iPad have a copy and are learning to use!!!)

GoodReader is a powerful PDF reader and file manager. It is not the prettiest app available on iOS, but in terms of functionality, I’ve yet to find a single solution that integrates good PDF annotation features and support for file management and remote servers as well as GoodReader does.

Penultimate is the ultimate notes app for iPad. Good-looking and fully-featured, Penultimate encourages you to take notes, make sketches, or work through your next breakthrough idea-- whether you're in the office, on the go, or home on the couch. Your handwriting looks beautiful in natural-looking black gel ink, on a choice of paper styles. Keep your notes organized in infinitely-expanding notebooks, and when you want to share your thoughts with others, you can send single pages or entire notebooks as PDF files.

Assignment: come to class week 7 with at least 3 apps that would be useful in a classroom, to students or to teachers. Make this a post on your website, include screencaptures of the app icon, the name and the link to download and of course price. Give a brief description and convince us we need it!!
