For those of you who are super-confident about your iPad knowledge, I'd like to propose a challenge. Go through and see how many features and shortcuts you didn't know about, leave a comment with the number at the bottom of the post - and be honest!

A list of free recommended Apps for Deployment

Learned of this via Vicky Davis.  With this super cool robotic gizmo you can be in two places at once using iPads. ....I want one. 

"One particular stand out among third-party solutions is Instacast HD. The bigger, younger sibling of the iPhone's Instacast, this iPad-only option isn't just super-sized, but souped-up, working best in tandem with its iPhone partner."

"TinyTap, Moments Into Games 1.0 allows parents and their kids the opportunity to turn the moments they share together into personal educational games. Creating a game is super easy - add a photo, record some questions, trace the answers and you're ready to play! "

"Creating a journal in iPhoto is like crafting a scrapbook page that you can post live on the web for anyone to see, for free. Not only is it fun to design a journal, but it's a super-fast way to show off vacation pics, or to show distant relatives how much the kids have grown. In addition to creating a journal on an iPad, you can also make one on an iPhone in the same way. The feature is currently missing from the Mac version of iPhoto, however."

"At today's Amazon event, Jeff Bezos dropped some whoppers on the industry: not only an upgraded Kindle Fire, but the Kindle Fire HD, a mother of a tablet that has a Retina-caliber display, serious horsepower, and a super low price starting at just $199 for the 7-inch model, $299 for the 8.9-inch model and $499 for a 32GB 8.9-inch model with LTE. Without a doubt, it's clear Amazon is gunning for the iPad and the upcoming iPad mini, but how do the new Kindle Fires really stack up?"

"Knowing that the second grade would be studying the phases of the moon in December, I suggested making ePub books on the iPads illustrating those phases. After a careful examination of the apps available at the time, I decided that the best app for our purposes would be Book Creator, which has a super-simple interface and easy exporting to iBooks."

"Rockmate is a breakthrough music creation app. It turns your iPad into a complete music studio easy and super fun to use. You can compose, record and play songs with up to 4 Rock players on one single iPad. Rockmate is easy to play with smart chords progressions, sounds great with separated guitar effects and in-house produced audio samples and is also fully customizable with multiple drums and keyboard styles."

"Just finished a Super Saturday "Hot Apps 4 HOTS" workshop. Wish I had come across Brad Wilson's "App Learning Tasks" sooner. What a fantastic resource! Have included his site with seven others I thought might be useful for promoting higher order thinking skills when utilizing an iDevice."

Super collections of apps organized according to Blooms Taxonomy.

"After much anticipation and hype, the long awaited Facebook for the iPad was finally released on Monday. I think since it was kept under wraps for so long, that I was expecting something super amazing, and while it's a nice app, it's still just Facebook on the iPad."
