Thing 6

I tried CloudOn and it worked just fine. I pulled up a document from my Google drive, but I didn't edit it. It's nice to know that I can if I am traveling and need to do some committee work. I'm actually on a committee now and we are revising a document we created. One thing about Cloudon is that I couldn't see all my documents and folders in Google drive. I don't know why they all didn't appear in my list.

I looked at SignNow, but I would so rarely, if ever! use it with my iPad that I did not download it. It's nice to know that it's available.

Thing 5

I looked at all the apps, but I don't think I would take notes on my iPad, though the Bamboo app looks nice, and I could see how it would eliminate carrying assorted notebooks for students. If I had a smart phone, I think the Remember the Milk app might be useful, but I don't carry my iPad with me, so even if I made lists on this app, I wouldn't have my lists with me.

I did download and try out the Dragon app. It worked pretty well. I used it while I read scholarship applications on my laptop. Instead of writing my comments, I spoke them. I don't see a frequent need for this app, so I probably won't use it often. But, it is a nice option.

Thing 4

📖I just spent over an hour playing with Flipboard. I didn't even try the other app. I'll have to go back to it, maybe during the summer. I was able to add several items to my Flipboard such as "Children's and Teen Books" and other book sites. I finally watched the trailer for "The Fault in Our Stars." It took me a few tries to rearrange my board, not an individual page, but moving items from one page to another. But, I managed to get it arranged the way I wanted. I need to do some more playing around. I'm wondering when anyone has time to do all this reading. I'm too busy reading books! 📖📖📖
