Apps like Nearpod, the new iOS app that helps teachers send media to student devices, will just increase. We need ways for teachers to send content and receive feedback. Meanwhile many apps say that parents and teachers aren't asking for any learning analytics. I don't know who they are talking to but that is one thing teachers need.
Teachers with apps is another website that has teachers evaluating apps.If you are an app fan, I've found that these are organized nicely.
Google drive is a file storage site, however, I"m seeing many not willing to activate this service as it has been explained to me that according to Google Terms of service that they may "publicly perform" what you upload to the Google Drive. What does this mean?. I'm looking into this. It is an interesting service and 5GB is free, however, this terms of service, is not a good thing.
Wired just did an article on deploying iPads using the Apple Configurator tool. This is a powerful tool for schools to use.
I find this is ironic that the publishers are calling Apple the "evil empire." And so it begins the echoes of a complete publishing industry turnover. Like the music industry ten years a go, great opportunity is born out of great turmoil. Futures of whole companies and industries will be decided in the next year.
"I humbly implore all media companies who read this — downtrodden newspaper editors, heads of publishing houses, and CEOs of media businesses: don’t listen to Apple, Google, or Yahoo. Join the Rebellion. Help us save journalism.
If you need to share files, this is a great roundup including some I'd never heard of like beamit. Nowadays I'm pretty much using dropbox all the time.
The apps and sites to help you get fit. find one and find a buddy and get moving. my personal favorite is Weight Watchers since it helped me lose 40 pounds. I am a few pounds up and going to be using my app and going back to meetings.
I will definitely use this with my classes this year. This website guides you through making step by step tutorials.
Here is the list of Winners and losers from Jane Hart's list. Some new entries: Google+ (debuting the highest at 26), Ted Talks (at 30), and for math teachers - Geogebra.
Great post from Lifehacker of their 50 apps they are most thankful for with the links to the posts they've written about them. This is my kind of very functional list. I love it!
One note. I totally agree about Dropbox, ccCleaner, Audacity, and Paint.net. My students LOVE paint.net.
My favorite place to find apps. This and #ipadchat are two great sources of information about iDevices in the classroom.

Ann McDonald is building a very nice wiki with so many resources! She is an excellent Flat Classroom teacher.
From the makers of zoho writer a really cool quiz maker. You can also use their app to create it.
Craig Nansen is one of the leaders of using the iPad in education, in my opinion. He's been doing it since day 1 and really has a great grasp. So, when he shared his list of iPad apps from Diigo, I wanted to share them with you.
IF you want to sync multiple calendars, this is the second step of doing that - you have to use the native safari web browser and navigate to the mobile apps piece to select the appropriate calendars. Change it as often as you like (I do!)
A link from twitter from rorowe (http://twitter.com/rorowe) on twitter about how to sync Gmails and calendars w/ the itouch. Plodding through this to see if it is what I want to do.
I actually looked at this and am synching through Outlook for just my personal calendar and then accessing google calendars as a web app over wifi. So, I'm just going to set this up for the contacts for now just to get them on my itouch.

Footnotes;
- This will sync all your calendars, (except ones shared over your domain for Google Apps users), however they will all appear as the one calendar on your iPhone (eg. no colour coding).
- All of your existing contacts & calendars will be wiped from your iPhone, so I’d recommend you make a backup before turning on ‘push’
Chat and SMS now availabe in gtalk.

Now you can keep the conversations going with a new Labs feature that lets you send SMS text messages right from Gmail
