December 1, 2010 iPad for Parents Group meeting Application list

During our December 1, 2010 Meeting, a parent presented a number of apps she uses with her child. She has put the following list together. As we add the each app to our own database i will hyperlink them to this list so you can rate the apps, add your comments and tell us how you are using them individually. Here are a few apps:

  • Dice (Great for games like Yahtzee, or where you need a spinner)
