3. Okay… on to more educational and organizational tools. __DroidScan (7 for PRO or FREE)__ or __CamScanner__ __($5)__ allow you to make documents digital by simply taking a picture. The paid versions allow the documents to be turned into .pdf.

It will even use your voice to type your list instead of using the keypads 6. __Wifi File Transfer (FREE)__: Depending on your school’s setup, this could allow for your phone to be used like a flashdrive, if I understand correctly. If students can be allowed to connect to the school’s wifi, they can download and upload files. I can see problems with it, though (bringing in viruses, etc.) Can be password protected. Of course, if you are saving in the cloud, this might not be neede 7. __GoogleDrive (Free):__ Includes GoogleDocs, but does much more. Converts photos of text to a document, gives you access to work offline, and share documents with classmates 8. __Evernote (FREE):__ the mobile extension of their website, Evernote allows students to “ take notes, capture photos, create to-do lists, record voice reminders--and makes these notes completely searchable, whether you are at home, at work, or on the go. 9. __Audio Recorder (FREE) ­__– This (and other recorders, most of which are free or can be upgraded for money) are handy for saving lectures, brainstorming, practicing speeches or presentations, 10.__ Gutenberg ereader ($3)__ – Any book in the Gutenberg project can be at the student’s fingertips in no time. Need I say more 11. For Teachers – __Random Student ($3)__ – Love this idea. Have your roster on hand. Mark students absent, and ask the phone to pick a random student. The phone speaks it aloud. You can even keep track of correct/incorrect responses. Gone are those popsicle sticks for each class!
