The iPad has been a device I use every single day since I have had it. It is easy to carry in my bag and take out whenever I need the Internet or when I have no pen and paper to jot things down. It has been an honour to be able to be part of the trial.
Prezi: This app is used for making presentations in a fun way. It is equivalent to PowerPoint presentation. The app is easy to use and a new way of presenting things. I used it to make presentations for my media coursework. You can then embed them into websites such as blogger.com.
Educreations: A very fun app to make videos and record over them, I also used this app to make a presentation for my media coursework. By pressing record, it records your voice and you can directly draw things on top of imported pictures etc then post the videos.
When on the Internet and you don't know certain words, by highlighting a word, you can choose the option of 'define' and with this, it is easier to understand things when you are unsure of a word in a sentence.
Dictionary and Thesaurus: a great app combined in one. It has both dictionary and thesaurus and you can switch between the two. There is a version that costs £2.99 but this one is free. I always need the thesaurus and instead of surfing the net, I can just use this app which is really helpful.
Bible Gateway: this free app I use in my philosophy of religion and ethics lesson. It helps me look through the bible to get quotes etc.
Law Guide: an app that shows all the laws in the legal system, unfortunately this is an American based guide and has American laws. I looked for a British one but I couldn't find any.
iBrainstorm: This app is really convenient to use to make brainstorms. However, it isn't as good as I thought it would be. I didn't know how to save the brainstorms and make a new page, it was quite confusing to use. The post it notes were really small and with struggle, I couldn't make them any bigger!
TED: the most interesting lectures! A very good app and interesting talks.
PicJointer: this app is what I used to put two pictures together and then compare them. This app is really easy to use, and it's free.
Currency: just an app where I can exchange the amount of pounds to dollars. It's a really helpful app and shows more than one currency exchange.
The have used the iPad in many lessons, it is very convenient. I can check my emails quickly and with this device I can always do my work on the go. Only disadvantage is that it needs wifi to connect to use the Internet. Although, on the weekend, I go to the library and they have free wifi that I can connect to and work through slide shows and search the Internet.
