 * <span style="color: #422424; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">Use Wikispaces to create student accounts (no email required), build projects & teams, & provide an online work/submission space for each student. These can be private (allowing only you & the student/team access & editing rights), protected (allowing other student members to access but not to edit), or public (anyone can view & edit.) Be sure to involve parents by allowing them access to their child's page(-s).
 * <span style="color: #422424; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">Use Dropbox to file & access documents, images, & videos. Get your files on the go using Dropbox Mobile. Sign up for 2GB of Dropbox for free, with subscriptions up to 100GB available. It works even when offline. You always have your files, whether or not you have a connection. Dropbox transfers just the parts of a file that change (not the whole thing). Invite students & colleagues to a folder. It'll be as if you saved the folder to their computers. See other people's changes instantly. Create photo galleries viewable by anyone you choose. Send a link to any file in your Dropbox using your Public folder.
 * <span style="color: #422424; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">Use Google Docs to file & access documents, presentations, spreadsheets, images, & videos up to 1GB for free. Invite others to collaborate on files synchronously. Build folders (collections) of work to share, or keep them private.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Use Edmodo to connect and collaborate, share content, and access homework, grades and school notices.
 * <span style="color: #422424; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">Create & use a generic Gmail account in order for students to email work directly to you. Set up your Gmail account on the iPad by following these simple steps:
 * 1) <span style="color: #422424; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">Tap "Settings".
 * 2) <span style="color: #422424; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">Choose "Mail, Contacts, & Calendars" on the left.
