[ipad] Which educational apps are you using/would you use?

[ben604]

Leading on from ReggieP's last thread about who was using iPads in their school, if you are, which apps are you/your teachers using?

 

Just trying to grasp whether they're worth the investment to use as research tools, as I doubt they could be used as word processors with any great success. It takes kids long enough with real keyboards, never mind the virtual ones...

Whether they can be used as a word processor is down to each individual user. I have no probs at all using mine as one, and can easily match the speed I can type within MS Word on a traditional keyboard.
