Below are some of the iPad Apps that the Tech Pod really likes:

 * **Blanks** (Pam) - A vocabulary word game
 * **Common Core State Standards** (Jane) - The CCSS in a simple to read format
 * **Dictionary** (Jane & Doreen) - This is an app of Dictionary.com. Use it to learn a new Word of the Day and look up any word you can think of (put this app next to your Words with Friends app to find obscure words).
 * **Ever Note** (Jane) - Create To Do lists, keep notes, etc.

 * **MultiConvert** (Doreen) - Use this app to convert anything - money, measurement units, etc.
 * **Onlive Desktop** (Jane) - Create a free Onlive Desktop account at [] and then download the app for your iPad. You'll swear you're sitting in front of your PC using MS Office 2010. Brian - You'll love this!

 * [|Dropbox] is a great service for syncing documents across multiple devices. The iPad client works like the iPhone one (hardly surprising, since this is a universal app), enabling you to preview many file types and store those marked as favourites locally.
