inClass: An App You Can Use in Class

(See what I did there in the title? Of course you do.)

Midway through last school year I spoke with Mr. Conger and he said electronic devices could be used in class if

1. it was clear they were being used for legitimate academic purposes, and


2. it was clear they were not being used for illegitimate, non-academic purposes

The only stipulation I add to that is that you bring a note from your parent(s)/guardian(s) saying they'd like you to use your device in class and they understand that misusing the device will result in the confiscation of said device and revocation of permission to use the device in class in the future.

If you have an Apple iOS device (i.e., iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), here's a free app to check out: inClass.

As the video below shows, it can be used for tracking your schedule and assignments, note-taking, photographing notes on the board, recording discussion, etc. Pretty handy.
