It is amazing how many apps there are out there for creativity. I have an iPad Mini which goes everywhere with me. I often download and try new apps. Many of them of them are free apps. Some I pay for because they are what I consider to be necessary apps. Their purposes range anywhere from travel, banking, news, weather, reading and what I considered utility apps. I have a couple of apps which I considered to be utility apps but now I will classify them as creativity apps. Moreover, this tech play has shown me there are so many more out there that can be used for creativity. The one thing that I might consider to be a negative for some of them is the price. However, if I was a parent of a school age child, and an app would help my child learn more efficiently and have fun doing it, I would consider it a good investment. A couple of the apps that I presently have on my iPad that I will now refer to as creative apps and instead of being utility apps are Notes Plus which is an apps that I used to take quick notes during meeting or when an idea comes to mind, iBook which I considered a library app, and Wolfram/Alpha which is a knowledge and answers app. I also have Skype which I have used on occasion to do a Visual Phone Call with my daughter in Tulsa. Now that she also has an iPad, we use FaceTime instead of Skype. One of the Analyzing apps from the Tech Play was an app called GoDocs for GoggleDrive. I have been using Dropbox and SkyDrive for the same purpose. Another cool app that I have downloaded is MyScript Calculator which can be used to do math calculations by hand which I think would fall either in the Analyzing or Understanding range. All in all, I think the technology that is and will be available for creative educational tools will continue to grow at a rapid rate.
