Addicted2Coffee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I decided to splurge and get an ipad with my tax refund. :D What are some of you or your kids favorite apps? And I'm looking for educational ones too? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Congrats! I got mine yesterday, too (from credit card reward points). So far today, I've been playing with Notability and all the cool e-books I have (and DD has discovered she can use it as a drawing program, too), Kindle and iBooks, various apps I'd downloaded for the iTouch and now have on the iPad, and lots of other stuff. But I think Notability is going to be the biggest win. I can even put a lot of my music scores on it! We also found several lego apps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renmew Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Rover will allow you to run many educational sites that require Flash, something an iPad would never do on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerbread Mama Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm bumping this back to the first page. My laptop died, and I'm thinking of replacing it with an iPad....I'm very interested to know what other homeschoolers are doing with them!
