 * **Date** || **Reviewer** || **App** || **Category** || **Cost** || **Review** || **Limitations** || **Tips & Tricks** ||
 * 6/14/11 || Don Orth || Quick Office || Productivity || $10 || This is a great application to use google docs, dropbox, and box.net. Simple add the accounts you have to quickoffice and give yourself access to all of the documents. It also allows you to edit and create google presentations and spreadsheets. || Cost and documents only accessible when you have internet access. || Use this to connect to both personal and school accounts to keep everything organized. Click and drag a folder or document to move, delete, or export it. ||
 * 6/15/11 || Ann King || Little Speller || Reading || Free || Great for K-2 students practicing reading/spelling trick/sight words. List can be customized and words are in lower case! || Doesn't have reading in context. || Can customize sight word list for each student. ||
 * 6/15/11 || Paul DiMarco || Stopwatches || Sports ||  || Stopwatches ap allows you to set up multiple stopwatches on one screen. The stopwatches allow for split timings as well as recording of times automatically for each individual student. The recorded times can also be sent to an excel- type spreadsheet. ||   ||   ||
 * 6/22/11 || Elisabeth Crabtree || Garageband || Music || $4.99 || Great introduction to the more advanced garageband program for macs, and gives students the chance to create multitrack recordings. Lots of fun instrument functions, and keyboards, guitars, and drums you can play with your fingertips. Great for students with physical impairments to be able to participate in guitar class with one finger. Great for practicing along with a consistent strumming pattern. || Lack of ability to do more advanced editing the way you would on a mac. Need headphone to avoid click track. ||  ||
