iPhone,+iPad,+and+iTouch+Apps

Although blatantly geared for Apple products, I believe these apps will help us to rethink about mobile technology in our classrooms. At this point, although we don't have any of these specific mobile devices in our possession for our students, seeing how our own personal devices could be used to benefit our classrooms might help to give some shape to a possible future decision about these devices. I am hopeful that these technologies will get a second look for being in the classroom when the time is right.
