iBooks is the first app I looked at and I definitely think it'll be useful for English class. If we do have iPads next year, we won't have to worry about carrying books around. The books we need will be right on the iBooks app. This is good because countless people forget their books and have to run and get one during class or share with someone else. The second app I think was useful were the graphing calculator apps. The lite versions were awful but the pro versions could actually be used in class. They do what most new calculators do and, me being an ap calculus student, think it could come in handy even though we do need the actual ti 84 for the ap exam. Other than this there wasn't anything that seemed useful for the classroom. All of the apps seemed like they were there for entertainment. If you get bored, these apps are definitely your way into entertainment. Other than that, they're pretty useless to be honest. The iPad can be used as a good note taker and a good resource for information but other than that it seems like it will mainly be used for it's fun and exciting apps.
