Description:
PDF Buddy is the best app I have come across so far for editing PDF documents online. It is very user friendly. It allows users to actually be able to come back to their documents and continue where they left off editing. It's drawing features is also one of the best so far. With a number of pre-added buttons that they think might be useful and actually are, this is definitely an app that should be used in classrooms.

Classroom Idea:
Almost every teacher at the high school, at some point in the year, is going to have a PDF for their students and everyone's lives would be easier if they could just edit it themselves with an app that isn't going to crash or screw up their work. This is that app.

Description:
Any.do is a pretty nifty online planner for any internet users. The user has two options to use this app. One is to set it up in time view. This way the options are today, tomorrow, upcoming, and someday. This might not be the best option because it would kind of be hard to plan ahead with it. To best utilize this app, I would suggest using the folder view feature. This way you can have strictly a homework and personal folder or a folder for each class. Reminders can also be set for tasks. 

Classroom Idea:
Math would definitely be a class where this app should get utilized. There is homework almost everyday, but students can put their whole assignment in here so they don't forget which problems and they can't forget to do it because of the reminder. It would also help keep you up-to-date on what tests are coming up.

This app provides students and teachers with easy access to Online Voice Recorder. Users can record loud and crisp audio recordings to be used in video projects and lessons. These recordings are then saved in the files section of the Chromebook.  

Classroom Idea:
Teachers can use audio recordings to create video lessons for times that they might not be in school or for sample video assignments. Likewise, students can use the voice recorder to create videos on their Chromebook with the WeVideo program. While the WeVideo program has an audio recording, the voice recorder app will create much clearer audio recordings.

This app provides students and teachers with easy access to the tools of Duolingo, a language-learning website that provides lessons and activities for Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Irish, French, and Dutch. For non-English speakers, there are also several lessons for English in languages ranging from Hindi to Bahasa Indonesia to Romanian to Russian. Lessons are gamified, and grading is given instantly with daily progress charts. 

Classroom Idea:
For foreign language classes, students can use Duolingo to practice specific word groups such as food, adverbs, and greetings. Students who are not taking a foreign language during the school year but want to learn a foreign language can also use Duolingo to pick up words at their own pace.

With Quizlet, vocabulary memorization is made easy with the ability to create and practice with online flashcards and vocabulary lists. These list can be shared, made public, or kept for personal use. 

Classroom Idea:
Teachers can easily create vocabulary lists and share them with students for review. Likewise, students who like practicing with flashcards can use Quizlet to make vocabulary lists that could be shared with friends.
