iPhone apps, Blog Design, Etc.

I absolutely LOVE my iPhone!  My sweet son, Gregory, got it for me on my birthday 2 years ago.  He even added me to his plan and pays for it! Isn't he a doll!

I don't know what I did without it! I am amazed at all the apps available and so when I saw on FB that Hope at 2nd Grade Shenanigans was hosting a linky party for iPhone apps (she just joined the crowd!), I had to link up!

Isn't this button just the cutest thing!!

Well, for my app I'm going to recommend a teacher tool that I use all the time - Groovy Grader.

I am forever misplacing my easy grader and this app does exactly the same thing!  And, best of all it is FREE!

Now, if you don't have to give grades, here is another app that might be useful to you - Common Core Standards.  That's right!  You can download the standards right to your iPhone or iPad and have them with you ALL the time!  Just what you wanted!!!  You can get the standards for K-12 with one app or K-6 with another.  And, they're both FREE!

On to blog design - I've been craving a new design for my blog!  As I'm wandering around visiting all the beautiful designs in Blogland, I'd like something that is lighter, more airy, and a bit more school themed.  I'm  a pastel kinda girl!  So, when I saw that Christi at Ms. Fultz' Corner and Design by Christi is giving away a blog makeover, I'm so signing up!!  If you have any suggestions for me, leave a comment!  

Okay, now it's etc. time which of course is GIVEAWAYS!!!
