Prezi is a website and they also have an app to make presentations on the iPad. In marketing class we do multiple presentations, traditionally using powerpoint. Prezi is a great app because it is mobile and instead of having students save everything to a flashdrive to take home, they can instead be mobile and work on the Prezi app. There is an app for cover letters that allows the user to download cover letter templates and create their own cover letter. I would use this in my business classes when we are in our careers units. Students are required to create a cover letter and they would be able to download the cover letter app and create theirs in the template. Marketing Emerging Trends is app that is a marketing publication that contains articles on current marketing trends. Some of the articles that I read were Facebook & Online Shoppers, Twitter Tweets on Retailers, There’s an app for that. I can use this app as a resource for myself when I am preparing units and materials and I could also have students read articles and respond them or have a class discussion centered around the topic.

This app is similar to Prezi as it is a presentation app. Many students have to create presentations for marketing class and this is one of the top presentation apps for the iPad. Students could create their presentation on the iPad and take it with them and present them anywhere they are.
 * 4) Keynote**

This app is a great educational tool that any teacher could use in any classroom. It is a mind mapping tool that allows students to visually see and organize their thoughts and ideas. I would use this in the classroom before any major group product. It would serve as a great brainstorming session, instead of students just talking, they could also put their ideas down.
 * 5) iThoughts HD**

This is a word processing app. I would use this in my class when students needed to write pages or create documents. This is especially useful for when a teacher does not have access to a lab.
 * 6) Pages**

The Wall Street Journal has an app that is free! I am always looking for articles and publications to read on current marketing and business topics. Instead of purchasing the newspaper, students would be able to read it on the iPad.
 * 7) Wall Street Journal**

This app allows you to save your meeting presentation in the cloud and people can access it from any location. You can also link this to a blog, facebook, twitter, etc. I thought this would be great not necessarily for my classroom but for the DECA club I advise. Many students are unable to attend meetings after school because they are involved in so many things. By using this app, we could link the meeting to our DECA facebook and blog so that students could get the presentation materials from the meeting they missed.
 * 8) Mighty Meeting**

Numbers is an app for the iPad that is designed to create spreadsheets, charts and graphs. In Personal Finance class, we work to create spreadsheets for our personal budget and we also use excel to calculate the amount you pay when you use credit. I could easily use this app instead of using Excel on the computers and again the great part is that this would be mobile. Students could create a real life budget and carry it with them instead of making a budget and leaving it on their computer.
 * 9) Numbers**

I teach Sports & Entertainment marketing and we are always looking for current events and trends in the sports marketing industry. I often have students go online to espn to look for current events and articles. I could use this app for my own personal reference to start a class discussion on a given topic or I could have students research and share their own findings.
 * 10) ESPN the Magazine**
 * __Applications for Personal Use__**

This app is great to use if you are traveling or in a different city and the best part is that it is free! You can locate restaurants, shopping centers, etc and get directions to that place. This is the app for the network ABC. I can go on the app and watch full episodes of shows and check the schedule just like I would on my laptop. I have an account for Netflix so now I am able to watch movies on my iPad. Its also great for my daughter to be able to watch movies or shows on the iPad as well. I choose this app because I was looking for something that my daughter could use too. It lets you draw just by the tip of your finger and you can change color and share when you are finished. Solitaire or other free game apps like this is great to have when I am board on long drives in the car or passing time waiting at the doctor’s office J
