Have any favorites I missed? Let me know and maybe I'll follow up with a second part, but for now here's my list:
ReaddleDocs: You'll need a good document viewer and organizer to make your iPad work for you and this is currently the best one I have used.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Even in the modern world of technology one still needs a good dictionary.
Calculator: It has all the basics as well as the advanced mathematical and scientific buttons too. Having the little ones check that math homework when they are done is twice as fun on the iPad.
Flash Cards: Create your own flash cards to study with on your iPad or iPhone. Flashcardlet lets you add images and star cards as you go for further studying.
Spelling Test: Type in a list, name the list, record your voice saying each word ... Use this app to study and even email results to a parent at work.
ShowMe Interactive Whiteboard: The uses for this app are bountiful. Use it as scratch paper, demonstrate a concept, show the basketball team a play, or doodle a few minutes before digging into that term paper.
Evernote: Create text, photo, and audio rich notes. Multiple ways to organize and search for items later. You can use this as your starting point to work on papers or in my case blog posts. Once you sink your teeth into it, you'll fall in love.
Todo for iPad: Mommy or the older Student will love the ability to make multiple to do style lists complete with due date reminders.
