Walsh on March 6, 2011  With the iPad2 on the launching pad, it’s a great time to share this list of useful iPad apps for teachers from guest writer Paula Dierkens. There’s no doubt that the iPad is an excellent device, and if you own this gadget, it makes sense to pick up the applications best suited to your lifestyle and profession. So if you’re a teacher, here are ten great iPad apps that you must try out: 1. __**QuickVoice Recorder:**__ This is the perfect recording tool to record your classes and get feedback on your performance; you can see what you’re doing right and what you’re going about wrong and learn how you can improve your lectures. 2. __**Dropbox:**__ If you’ve used Dropbox on your computer, you already know this is a must-have tool on your iPad. If not, it’s a file storage application that allows you to say goodbye to flash drives and portable hard disks for good. Just sign up to store your files online and then access them from any other computer, your iPad or your smartphone. Ideal for files you use at school and at home. 3. __**Things for iPad:**__ If you’re looking for the perfect task manager to keep track of all your appointments and prepare ahead, then Things it is. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0066cc; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; vertical-align: auto;">__**Mobile Filtering Technology**__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">4. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0066cc; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; vertical-align: auto;">__**Discover:**__ There’s no need for encyclopedias today with Wikipedia and other instant sources of information.
