Apple is famous for its hard to know about shortcuts which help make work easier once you know them. The iPad is no exception. This video from Cult of Mac gives you a few great pointers to help you type more efficiently on your keyboard. 

   There are so many apps available, it can be overwhelming to find the right ones. Here is a list of 15 free apps which I have found useful. I am using all of them on my iPad but many are also available for other mobile devices.  1. Flipboard      This has become my favorite app and I use it more than anything else. It turns all of your social streams from sites like Facebook and Twitter into a virtual magazine. You can also add any other sites that you love to read to read on the go. The layout of this app is just beautiful. 

   Evernote has a new free app on the App Store which makes use of the Smart Cover to help with learning.  With Evernote Peek,  can fold back the cover to reveal questions and then even further to reveal the answers.       This is great for students who wish to create flashcards to help practice information. To create new practice materials, they simply need to create a new note and add the questions to the title and the answers to the body text.
