 * Lemonade Tycoon (free app) -** This is an interactive game that requires the user to run a lemonade stand. There are many different decisions that the user must make before the day begins. Some of the decisions include: location, setting the price, amount of advertising, recipe of the lemonade, and quantity of supplies. In addition to making these decisions the user is also given a forecast and headline that should be thought about when making the before mentioned decisions. This game is able to be saved and continues to keep a running track of the daily profit and overall profit made to date. This would be a great game to play to break up a block class to have students understand the concept of marketing and business. Worksheets could be created to track each user (or a group of users) progress for a set period of days on the game.


 * MktgForecast (free app) - ** This is an app that "analyzes key marketing and advertising trends in over 440 industries and what motivates end-customers. The company’s research is used by over 2,000 advertising agencies, media properties and product marketing departments across the United States. Ad-ology is also a research partner for the 2010 American Advertising Federation’s National Student Advertising Competition. Ad-ology Research is a division of Sales Development Services (SDS), Inc. - a Westerville, Ohio firm founded in 1989." According to [|this article.] This would be beneficial for my marketing class to use when they are working on creating a new product to be launched into the market, as well as other class assignments and projects.


 * Shake&Quote Marketing Edition (free app) - **This app has over 250 quotes that deal with marketing. This would be a great activity to start out the class period to get the students thinking about a quote dealing with the current topic we are in.


 * Present (free app) - **This app gives 60 important tips to remember about presentations. This app could me made into a class activity for students to work through some sort of assignment to prepare for their upcoming class presentation. This is especially important to my marketing classes because we focus on projects that typically have some form of presentation that is required.

 * myhomework (free app) - **This is an electronic assignment notebook. Many of my students need to set reminders in their phone in order to get assignments turned in on time. This app allows students to have more detailed notes that can be color coded for each of their classes that they are in. In addition to the color coding available, it also has reminders of assignments that are coming due.

 * Facebook (free app) -** This app is a simplistic version of the website that allows people to stay in touch. I use this app on a daily basis to check in to see what my friends are up to and to let them know what I am up to as well.


 * Atomic Fart (free app) - ** This app is the first one my husband put onto the iTouch. It is a simple app that plays about 20 different types of farts. It also has a game within the app that is much like the Simon game that was popular in the late 80's and early 90's. My husband enjoys using this app to wake me up when I fall asleep on the couch at night, how sweet!


 * Runway (free app) - ** This is my favorite game app. I'm addicted... The objective of the game is to successfully land airplanes, taxi them to the terminals, load up the planes with necessary supplies, and send them to take off. I have the free version and still love it. There is also a $0.99 version that has more terminals for the planes to use.


 * Flood-It! 2 (free app) - ** Another game app that is fun to play. The objective of the game is select one of the different six colors to have the color take over that square. The goal is to get the whole game board one color by only changing the colors 22 times.


 * TextNow Lite (free app) - ** This app allows the iTouch user to send text messages to cell phones. When the receiver gets the message it says "FROM: Senders Name MSG: The message is inserted here." The receiver can reply to the message and iTouch user will receive it on their iTouch in this app. This app has a maximum of 30 outgoing messages per day.
