Posted on 13:50 by Unknown
When Apple released iPad they knew it will spark a revolution in personal computing impacting every industry even education; why not and it is one of the first mobile tablets of its kind to combine both the mobility of a cell phone and the screen of a computer.
Today, as its popularity has gained floor and a wide range of students in all over the world are using it, it becomes urgently important for educators to ponder heavily on its possibilities in enhancing learing and engaging students.





I will not talk about these possibilities here for i will include them in a fully detailed post later but rather provide you with excellent free iPad apps that both teachers and learners can securely use in education.

The following list is not conclusive so feel free to add up to it if you have new suggestions.

1- Quick Voice Recorder

 Quick Voice is a cool mobile app. It allows its users to record their ideas, voice memos, voice email, dictation, lists, meetings, classes, or entire lectures! It is completely free and works for both iPhone and iPad. If you want to learn more about it and download it then check out Quick Voice Recorder main page.


2- Discover — Wikipedia in a Magazine
