I know you know that Apple products have some great applications for your students to use. You can use some of the apps I listed for students, as well (especially if you have a way to project what's on your iPod/iPad screen onto a large board for everyone in the class to see). But there are some apps that were developed specifically with the teacher in mind...and other apps that teachers would benefit more from than a student would. Check these out...

Teacher Pal -- FREE. Store pictures and attendance records of your students on your phone. Sort my class. E-mail parents/students with the touch of a button.
Shopping List -- $2.99. I don't use this just for my "shopping" list -- I just use it as a LIST that I can check off as I complete things. Before I found Teacher Pal, I was able to use Shopping List as a way to keep track of students getting on/off my bus when I hosted a field trip. I can also list materials to take to class, things to do, topics to go over during each class... the possibilities are endless. You can delete the items you check off, or uncheck them and start over! It's pretty handy.
Dropbox -- FREE. If you don't already use dropbox.com, you may want to check it out (I did a blog post over it here).
Keynote Remote -- $0.99. Wirelessly control a Keynote presentation from anywhere in the room. You can also view upcoming slides!
CamScanner+ -- $4.99 / FREE version with watermarks and advertisements. Use the camera on your phone to scan any picture or document. This would work great for a variety of things, but how about scanning student work to post on your virtual 'fridge? Or even scanning a note you need to send home so you'll have a copy?
Idea Store -- $2.99. If you're like me, you get random ideas about how to teach certain topics in your class at the most inconvenient times. Usually, it happens when I don't have anything to write with/on. And if I jot it down on a scrap piece of paper, I usually lose it before I can try it in my classroom. This app allows you to jot down quick notes and then categorize them (similar to the "labels" system on Blogger) so that you can easily find them later.
