So, how do you create a collaborative CLASSROOM eBook? If you only have one iPad available, it is not such a big problem.  Each student waits for a turn to add their page(s) (or double page) to the book as the iPad gets passed around.

PicView’s iPad app lets you add voice tags and annotations to pictures to tell your story

PicView is a new, free iOS app that enables users to add voice tags and annotations to images, videos and business applications. We’re giving it an early review, as the app is only available for iPad and supports only photos for the time being. The app lets you take or upload an iPad picture and subsequently add voice annotations to them using a simple recorder, with the added ability of being able to pinpoint specific parts of an image with a short animation (called ‘Trackers’).

So it’s exciting to see Skitch, the service that allows you to quickly annotate, edit and share screenshots and images, release their Skitch for iPad app today.

Similar to the Mac version, Skitch for iPad includes an arrow tool, text tool, drawing tool, shapes tool, crop tool and a cursor tool. Ability to import an image, take a photo, create your own drawing, browser a web page and take a screenshot and annotate a map using the inbuilt Google Maps interface. Extensive share options including share by mail, Twitter, save to camera role and full integration with Evernote. It’s free to download.  Read more about Skitch for iPad here.
