UPDATE Oct. 2012: The Original version of Brushes is no longer available. They are selling a new version that requires an in -app purchase to add layers. This doesn't work for the Volume Purchasing Program that my school iPads require. I recommend substituting with Sketchbook Express (free). See more iPads lesson ideas on my Creating on iPads page (see tab above).

Dropbox App
This is a wonderful free app that helps you distribute or collect files on the ipad. It syncs to your desktop and makes life easier! Please use my referral link so I can have some bonus space:)

This is a download for your desktop to magically mirror your ipad so you can work along with your students. Here is a pict of how I use it projected onto my interactive whiteboard.
