Info: Complete Class Organizer for the iPad / Cost: $4.99
Quick overview: This week we’ll look at a student-centered tool. It’s the start of a new school year. Have you already identified certain students that tend to forget about quizzes and homework? Do you suspect that part of the problem is that they are having trouble keeping organized? There’s an app for that!
How can this be used in the classroom: In a nutshell, this app is an electronic organizer designed specifically for students. The app can help students keep track of multiple class schedules, class info, textbooks, upcoming assignments, quizzes, and exams. Not only is it simple to get the app up and running, it’s also relatively easy to continue using it throughout the school year. If desired, students can also take notes directly within the app but I’d recommended using a specialized app like AudioNotepad or Notetaker HD if they’d like to use an iPad to take notes during class.

Can multiple students use this app on one iPad? This app is intended for students that have exclusive access to their own iPad. If your classroom shares a single iPad, this tool may not work well with multiple students using the same iPad.
