Schedule Planner HD

This app allows you to schedule out your to dos for the day or the whole week. It is useful for over things outside of school also. Say if you have a job interview or something you could schedule that with this app. I think that schools should have a planner app on their iPads.

In the Loop

In the Loop is an app that is used for seeing what courses are available through colleges, High schools, and graduate schools in your area. I helps you find what you wanna do like your major or minor in college. It also helps you find courses at your own high school if your high school has an account on the site.

Keynote

Keynote is a lot like PowerPoint except it's the apple version and PowerPoint is operated by windows. I use keynotes for making all sorts of presentations from making an informal to just making something fun and handy to use. In my opinion keynote is better than PowerPoint.

Notability

Notability is used for taking notes for different classes. I use notability for just a couple of my classes. This is for the iPad only unlike pages and notes. I really like notability.

Pages

Pages is used for typing things, like for classes or just for fun. I use pages in all of my classes. It is very resourceful and you can use it both on you Mac or your iPad or mobile i device.

AVG Anti Virus App

AVG is one of the best virus protectors that you can get.  It will help you have a clean and fast computer.  It is also free unless you want the better more protective version.  I think a lot of people will you AVG if they new about this anti virus program.

Facetime App

Facetime helps you talk to friends and family across the world.  It helps to have this app maybe if you are from a different country and you don't wanna say drive or fly to the country. Facetime is the tool that lets you video chat or just a regular chat.

App versus Web

There are multiple differences between the blogger app and blogger online. Some of the perks of using it online are you can view more blogs than just yours and can see all the widgets you've added. On the app it's a little more difficult and hard to understand. I like the website more because personally I think it's easier to use than the app.

Another thing on the app is the convenience of using the app. You can use the app wherever you are no matter if its on your iPad, iPhone/Smartphone, or just your iPod touch. If you use it online you must have a computer. I also think the online version kind of lags a little bit, while the app is much faster. My overall opinion on both of these fine utensils is that I enjoy the online version more than the app.

Symbaloo

        Symbaloo is a shortcut to all of your favorite websites.  You can use it wherever you are if you have a smart phone or tablet.  It is used for all kinds of purposes such as:  weather, news, sports, and even just surfing the web.  Some benefits would be getting to that website that just takes to long to type or maybe if you want to tweet that person back.

Blog Guidelines

•Avoid leaving negative comments on someone else's blog.
•Own up to the mistakes you make while posting something new or whether its commenting something new.
•Do not post anything that could get you fired or damage your life.
•Always give credit when someone gives you an idea.
•Keep blogging educational and informational.
•Never over promote yourself when commenting.
•Don't post things about your personal life such as: full names, where you live, sports teams you play on, or where you got to school.
#1. Give credit where credit is due. If you saw a post, meme, idea, etc. that you love and want to recreate on your blog – go ahead. Just be sure to give link love to the person you blogjacked it from.
#2. Do not attack people with negative anonymous comments. If you’re going to disagree with someone own up to it by linking your name otherwise don’t comment at all. Leaving negative comments anonymously is a cowardly thing to do.
Obviously, you’re not going to agree with every post you read by every blogger – but allow others their opinion. It’s their blog and they can post what they want to.
The purpose of comments in general are to continue the conversation, give encouragement, or thank the person for their hyperlink or thoughts.
#3. Capitalize, punctuate, and start new paragraphs. It’s difficult to read blogs that are a single run on sentence. FYI: ALL CAPS IS LIKE SHOUTING.
