Visit the Google Play® store (for Android®) or the App Store® (for Apple® devices) and choose two applications that you feel will help you as you progress through school. You can consider time-management tools, note-taking tools, study tools (such as math games), or any other tools you believe will be useful. For each app you choose, begin by briefly describing the application. Is the application free, or does it cost money? What do you like most about the app? How do you think it will help you? Would you recommend it to your classmates? Why or why not?
