On the brink of the lazy days of summer, what's a parent to do? Here are nine ways to use your Mac and iOS devices to keep your kids sharp during the summer. Add your own advice to the comments at the end of this article. "

"For the iPad there is a great timer/stopwatch app called Minu Timer. This universal free app needs no instructions (although it does include a start up 'how to use' page appearing on your first launch). The interface is simple and the user experience proves that a well written app will let users jump right in and get started. A lack of buttons and excessive tuning options keeps things uncluttered and removes the need to tap through to layers of screens."

There have been many apps that have cycled through my iTunes, but only the most useful and least annoying get to have a permanent home."

A free alarm app we found to help keep us on time in the morning is Winter Wake-Up. The app is for the iPhone but works fine on the iPad in 2x mode. The idea of the app is that it watches for weather changes where you are (you need to have Location Services turned on), then adjusts your wake up alarm time to give you extra time.
