I came home today to the.best.present.ever. My BF surprised me with an iPad for my birthday! My birthday is in June but he thought I could use it now (um, yes!)...so I ask you dear friends, what are the apps, tricks, and tips that I need to about?
Jessica, Hurrah! Okay, I have now used an iPad for 3 days, but I LOVE ShowMe for my kiddos. It is easy to use and the results are amazing! Plus it is free. I used it to record my kiddos solving math problems. It turns your iPad into a whiteboard and records the writing PLUS the audio.
I have NO ideas yet about apps for personal use.

WOOHOO! HURRAY!! AWESOME!!! Well, Happy EARLY Birthday, Jessica!!! I'm THRILLED for you...that is a FANTASTIC gift! I just got an iPad for Christmas and I'm SO glad you asked this question! I know there is alot I can and should be doing with mine in my classroom, but with trying to get everything else accomplished, I haven't had time to investigate apps and learn more about what this amazing little device can do for me as a teacher. I am definitely going to check out the ShowMe app that Camille recommended (thanks, Camille!) and I'm now following you by e-mail so I can make sure to find out what others are doing with their iPads!
