For students, you can easily send out homework reminders and even a great job message to encourage a specific student. You can also reach parents in the same way and send out notifications on slips that were sent home to be signed, information on an upcoming test, or anything else you feel they should be notified about. You can even queue up notifications ahead of time so you don't forget later.</p> <p>For an easy way to send out alerts and notifications about the classroom to parents and students, check out Remind.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remind-safe-classroom-communication/id522826277?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Teachers.io</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ipad-apps-teachers' title="Best iPad apps for teachers: From planning to class participation, start the school year off right!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/teachers_io_best_teaching_apps_screens.jpg?itok=WwMkQr2o' />[/url]</p> <p>Teachers.io is an all-in-one suite where teachers can upload assignments, syllabus', tests, announcements, and more. Not only are these items available inside the Teachers.io app, but they're available on your own Teachers.io website on the web. Your students can then use the myHomework app in order to view and download their assignments, or they can view your own unique website in order to download them to their computer. Since Teachers.io supports Dropbox and many other cloud storage services, the types of files you can upload and share are pretty much endless.</p> <p>If you're teaching middle school or high school, Teachers.io is a great service that puts your entire classroom and lesson plan online for both students and parents.</p> <ul><li>Free with IAP - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teachers.io-teacher-planner/id615691095?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Haiku Deck</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ipad-apps-teachers' title="Best iPad apps for teachers: From planning to class participation, start the school year off right!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/haiku_deck_teachers_best_apps_screens.jpg?itok=gOgmnmXs' />[/url]</p> <p>Haiku Deck is one of my [favorite presentation apps for iPad]( and one of the best places to use it is in the classroom. Every presentation you create in Haiku Deck is immediately available on all mobile devices and on the web, which means that no matter how your classroom is set up, you can project your presentations to whatever equipment you've got. The process of creating projects on the iPad with Haiku Deck is not only easy, but enjoyable. You can use most of Haiku Deck's features for free but you also have the option of buying additional content and templates via in-app purchases.</p> <p>Whether you're teaching your students about the solar system or the American Revolution, Haiku Deck has you covered.</p> <ul><li>Free with IAP - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/haiku-deck-presentation-slideshow/id536328724?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Google Drive</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ipad-apps-teachers' title="Best iPad apps for teachers: From planning to class participation, start the school year off right!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/google_drive_ipad_best_apps_screens_updated.jpg?itok=06epYATs' />[/url]</p> <p>Many schools are now giving students email addresses so they can communicate easier both in the classroom, and outside. One of the great things about Gmail accounts is that you've got instant access to Google Drive. With several gigs given to each account for free, it makes it easy to create spreadsheets, slides, and regular text documents that can be shared in just a click. And since you can see who is currently editing and viewing your Google Drive files, it's a great collaboration tool for classrooms. Doing a project that requires everyone to have a role? List them out in a spreadsheet, invite your students, and let them hop in and choose what duties they're going to take.</p> <p>If your school system provides Google Apps or Gmail accounts to you and your students, Google Drive is a no brainer when it comes to free classroom collaboration.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-drive-free-online-storage/id507874739?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>What do you think are the best iPad apps for teachers?</h2> <p>Whether you're a teacher, parent, or student, are there any iPad apps you've found to be indispensable when it comes to the classroom? Do you use any of the above or do you think something else deserves a mention?
