The photo booth costs $1.99 but it is a fun app for taking pictures and inserting them into class projects. Themes can help students relate to period assignments while having fun. Marketers say, "We’ve come a long way from the black and white or sepia-toned strip of four pictures. Now we have apps to add effects, stickers, crazy faces, and more." .

Notability Handwriting is happiness! Notability powerfully integrates handwriting, PDF annotation, typing, recording, and organizing so you can take notes your way! Discover the freedom to capture ideas, share insights, and present information in one perfect place on iPad. You can use a stylus or you finger to take notes right on the screen or you can use the integrated keyboard. An improvement from other note-taking apps, you can personalize the toolbar to change the font, add bullets, etc.

===http://csdipads.wikispaces.com/Apps+for+Teachers%26AdminConfer === Created by a full-time, National Board Certified Teacher, Confer is a note taking app for teachers that lets you record and keep track of the notes you take on your students; both individually and in small groups. Whether you teach Reading and Writing Workshop or simply want to take notes on your students, Confer enables you to take notes quicker and it lets you sort, group, and view your students in ways you just can’t do with paper and pencil. Confer also lets you export and import you data via email, or upload it as a spreadsheet, so you can access your notes anytime, anywhere. (It's awesome, but it is $14.99.) There is a lite version if you want to try it first :)

 Stick Pick This app ($2.99) was created by 6th grade teacher, Buzz Garwood. Throw away your popsicle sticks! You can randomly select students by shaking your iPad or iPhone. You can also choose question stems for individual students using Bloom's & Revised Bloom's Taxonomies. It costs $2.99. I haven't used it in the classroom yet, but I've played around some. It looks easy-to-use, and provides access to user support.

 PowerTeacher Mobile Post assignments, grades, send emails and access essential student information. Remove the tether to your desk top or lap top! **FREE**. (CHS has been using PowerTeacher for 2 years and the rest of the CSD is following. I haven't used this app but I think it would be helpful for the on-the-go teacher.)

iPlan Lessons This is a great productivity app ($6.99). With it you are able to get organized and plan your lessons. There is a database where you can find lessons, you can plan individual interventions and track student progress.

The [|Docs Teach] **free** app allows you to find primary source materials from the [|National Archives] and then use those documents to create activities for use in the classroom. You can also search activities that have already been created. When you open the app, you can bring up an activity you've created on a PC by putting in your classroom code. This is a great teacher planning tool and an awesome way to use technology to plan meaningful lessons for students that bring past and present together. With Common Core coming soon, this will be an extremely valuable resource.
