This App says Free for 24 hrs, so I'm not sure what the price is after promotion or how long the promotion will be, but I was very impressed with it and have emailed all my Ipad Volume Purchasing Faciliators to download it. It's a Sketchbook (like Penultimate) and you can't beat free for a DECENT app. From the website ----------------------------------------------- Free for 24 hours!!! Draw Pad Pro is designed as a beautiful and innovative way to create and manage all your notes, sketches, scribbles, and more. The app takes advantage of new iOS 5 technology to offer an experience unseen in other note-taking or drawing apps. AN APP THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING Simply put, there is no existing writing app that allows the level of customization that Draw Pad offers. Change everything from the color of your notebooks and the pages they use, to the background and appearance of the app itself. With over 30 different papers, 15 notebook colors, and 10 app themes, you can make things look just the way you want them.

"One of the justifiable criticisms of the iPad was that it was difficult to impossible to transfer files between many apps or networks. With the addition of some apps like PocketCloud and FileBrowser, and the improvement of the Open in… function in later systems , especially iOS 6, this has become even less of an issue. Still, I’m terms of downloading files on web based apps, you were often limited to photos from the camera roll. This was the case with the Edmodo app.
An Edmodo app update earlier in the year allowed access to the Camera Roll and Google Docs. This however, was still too limiting to use the Library/Backpack feature of Edmodo to upload, store and download most files.
Today that changed. The latest Edmodo iPad app now adds File Sharing functionality, both uploading and downloading to Edmodo’ s Library (for teachers) and Backpack (students)."

" Mobile Learning is about self-actuated personalization.
As learning practices and technology tools change, mobile learning itself will continue to evolve. For 2013, the focus is on a variety of challenges, from how learners access content to how the idea of a “curriculum” is defined."
