Did you know that over 40% of us have smartphones and the number keeps growing, and growing fast. But like most things, human nature is to follow the crowd and that seems to be the same with apps. Instead of tailoring our phone to fit us like a glove, many of us seem to take the one-size-fits-all approach. To tailor your phone for your needs, you might want to take a look at some of the apps below. They can be great tools for school use. Check out Simplenote for notetaking. It is available for the iPhone and iPad and free if you want to tolerate a few ads. A personal favorite of mine is Evernote. If you want something that does more then taking notes, you might want to look at SoundNote, $5 and available for the iPad. It also records audio while you type. One app definitely worth looking at is Easybib. Citing work was never easier. Minimal writing, mimimal typing.
If you give any of the above a try, let me know how you like them or if you have a great apps that you thinking students could use in class, let me know and I will post it.
