Scratchwork App

In the spirit of collaboration mentioned in my previous email this morning, I’d like to share a great app for note-taking and research on the iPad.  It’s called Scratchwork.  

Scratchwork allows you to pull up a side-by-side screen with your note-taking space on one side and a webpage on the other side, allowing you to take notes without flipping back and forth between two screens.  When done, you can email the notes as text or pdf, or it will sync with a built-in web-storage option to a personal account at Box.net (5 Gb free for each personal account).  Box.net allows students to log in individually so that the data would be available to them at home, or be available to them the next time they access the iPad.

Thanks to Holly Amerman from Rome High for sharing this one with me (as we talked at the grocery store) this week!
