"IEAR 2010 Best Apps"

This is a wonderful Video conferencing site which works across many types of devices. There is no sign up or login required. Just start a room and share the link to invite afters. You can have five video participates at once. You can watch videos together from YouTube and other sites. There is a collaborative notepad, text chat, file sharing and you can even share your screen with other 'room mates.' You can sign in for free to customise rooms and schedule sessions. A great resource for staff meetings, training and distance teaching. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/ICT+%26+Web+Tools

"A great video editor for Apple devices with a range of tools. Mix videos from your camera roll, add effects, text and transitions then share."

"An interesting iOS and Android app where users can create virtual messages in a particular geo-location for others to find, and then share with others. Perfect for virtual treasure hunts and much more."

"Essential cloud storage so you can access your files from anywhere and share them easily with colleagues. Sync your files so you can access them both online and offline. Download the iOS and Android apps to use on the go."

"Stay organised as a staff or as a class with media rich collaborative virtual sticky notes. Add text images, files, links, Google Documents and more. You can add due dates and see changes being made by others in real-time. Be organised on the go with the Android and iOS apps."

"A superb 3D coding platform for building the skills to build simple code and to understand the basics of algorithms. You can also create your own game levels and share them using a QR code."

"Working within the education sector invariably throws together so many tasks that producing a simple to-do list is sometimes just not enough. When faced with a complex to-do list, the usual temptation can be to procrastinate, leaving the important and urgent items on the list festering away until last-minute panic sets in."

If you're on the prowl for great math apps (or any app), crawl over to App crawler - a site that has a lot of apps and ideas for you. There are some very interesting apps here. It is about time, however, for apps to come packaged with textbooks.
