After reading this article, 50 Must-Download Apps For Lifelong Learners, it gave me hope knowing that there are still people who want to continue their education. It was also cool to know that people are using their iPads for this reason, rather than just sitting around playing games. With the discussion that was held in another one of my classes about how pen and paper may soon be extinct and students may be only using technology, it is comforting knowing that there are so many educational apps available for these students and for others. My top 10 favorites listed in this article were:

1. iTranslate- This app helps you learn different types of languages right at your fingertips.
2. Instapaper- This app allows you to save blogs and other websites to be able to read offline.
3. Reading Rainbow- I used to be OBSESSED with this show when I was a kid, so it is awesome that there is an app for that that I can share with my little cousins and the kids I babysit!
4. Goodreads- This app allows you and others to rate books. I love reading but have a hard time choosing books, so I will be downloading this one!
5. TED- This is an app that has a ton of video lectures available for all to learn about whatever they want to!
6. Khan Academy- I have been on this website before, and I love it! It's awesome that he has an app for it because you can bring your learning anywhere.
7. NPR- This app gives you current events to learn and read about. I love these types of things because it is sometimes hard to keep up with current events while being so busy.
8. eHow- This is one of my favorite websites to go to when I have a question about something, and having it as an app would make it so much easier to access.
9. First Aid by American Red Cross- This is a great app to have at all times. No matter where you are, you may need to use First Aid, and having this app at your fingertips would allow you to help people in need properly. I especially like this because I babysit a lot and work in schools, and the kids are constantly getting hurt.
10. Math Formulas- Reference Guide- This gives you all of the formulas you could possibly need.

These apps are awesome for people who are in school or people who want to continue their education outside of school. Check out the website to see all 50 apps!
