 * 10 Professional Applications**

1. Numbers Numbers is the Apple version of Microsoft Excel. It will cost $9.99 for the application. It is has been redesigned for the Ipad which will allow students to use this application to create spreadsheets by organizing data, performing calculations, and managing lists. You can use pre-made styles for tables, charts, images, and texts. I anticipate this application will be used by our special education or at risk students in both inclusion and pullout classes at Medford Senior High School and Alternative High School.

2. Keynote Keynote is the Apple version of Microsoft Powerpoint presentation. It will cost $9.99 for the application. It creates exciting presentations to choose from or develop on your own. There are eight slide masters that are already developed for which you can add data/adapt to your own presentation. There are animated features (magic move, flip, or spin) which can be added, enhancing photos through masks, shadows, reflections, and picture frames, tables, charts, etc. A new feature is exporting keynote presentations to power point. I anticipate this presentation will be used in many of our high school special education classes such as English 9, 10, 11, and 12. My alternative high school students will also use this in their English classes, plus also in the requirement of giving a presentation.

3. Pages Pages is the Apple Version of Microsoft Word document. It will cost $9.99 for the application. Pages has created templates that you can choose from that allows you to add information and adapt like you would a Word document. You start from the beginning and use the templates as a format like Resume Letter, Cover Letter, etc to form your documents. I anticipate that this application will be used in our middle and high school special education classes in English classes. Alternative High School Students will also use this in English classes.

4. Docs to Go Docs to Go premium allows people to edit, create, and view Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files, view PDF, iWork, and other files, access/use/sync flies stored in Google Docs, Dropbox, etc. Staff will be able to use this application to open Word documents or PDF documents that have been sent to us through email attachments. I will hope to train high school staff and alternative high school staff.

5. Quickoffice Quick Office allows people to save, open, and edit documents such as Microsoft Word and Excel documents. I will use this application after I send myself Word documents or programs in an email. I open the email and then save the document in Quick Office. One way we already used this is with our school district 3 minute walk throughs. I opened the form in Quick Office and then edited the document. After it was completed on a teacher, I emailed to them.

6. Pdf Reader Pro This is described as the most powerful PDF reader for the Ipad. This helps when you copy, edit, or save PDF files from the web or from an email attachment. This has been downloaded on the IPads in our school district.

7. iBooks This is the Apple version of Kindle. IBooks is free for download onto the ipad. You can download free books or books that can be purchased including classic or new books. I have purchased multiple classic books, Winnie the Pooh, and IPad User Guide so far in my ibooks library on my ipad. I enjoy how you see the books like on a bookshelf on the Ipad.

8. Dictionary The Dictionary application includes both dictionary and thesaurus. It does not need internet access to use.

It includes a Spanish and English Word of the Day, alphabetical indexing, similarily spelled words, word origin and history, editable recent word look up, shake device to see a randomly selected word, This application can be used by middle and high school students. It is downloaded on each Ipad in the school district.

9. Sign Language 4 me Sign Language 4 me is described as the ultimate tool for learning sign language. I would agree as you type in words or phrases and a person signs out the communication in sign language. This has been downloaded on each Ipad in the school district. We currently have a deaf and hard or hearing student which can be taught sign language through this application.

10. Proloquo2Go This application is priced at $189.00. It is by far the most expensive application on Itunes that I have found. However, the price is cheap compared to AAC communication devices that nonverbal students have had to purchase in the past which has been $5000 to $7000. It is a communication board and writing with symbols where students can push buttons with pictures or type in sentences and have it speak outloud.

1. Keno HD This application has saved me hundreds of dollars as instead of going to the casino, I can get my gambling fix through this application. It has provided many hours of fun and use in car rides and at home.

2. Tap Fish This is perhaps my most favorite application so far. The opportunity to buy different fish and place them in varied tanks with different backgrounds, decorations, etc which can be purchased through coins or fish bucks. You can name tanks and fish. Many of my special education students have picked out a fish and named it after themselves. They have truly enjoyed this opportunity. Just today my severely disabled student Gabe named a Great White Shark after himself. He was smiling from ear to ear. I wish it didn't need internet access to use though as not always available.

3. USA Today A great application which has all the main articles and is highlighted in bright, stunning features. It is easy to read and navigate each of the sections of cover page news, money, life, and sports. Each day is updated with the news of the day.

4. ABC News This is also an awesome application as ABC News is featured in a turning and rotating globe with the major features/stories of the day. Super cool. I find myself checking this application on a daily basis.

[|ABC News]

5. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel The major newspaper in Wisconsin is able to be accessed through their own application or in regular print off the website. I enjoy both avenues. The set up for the application is the same as News Chanel 7 and WEAU 13 Eau Claire applications. This includes news, business, education, sports, etc for sections.
