Explain a Website
This wonderful app comes from the genius minds of the creators of Explain Everything. I love Explain Everything, and I love Explain a Website! Simply enter an active website into the address bar, and hit enter. Your website appears! You can draw, highlight, and direct your audience with a “pointer” tool. The only downside to this app is that the creator cannot include a PIP (picture in picture) like is possible on Explain Everything. Still an awesome app, though!

Pocket
While you’re browsing the web, do you ever come across an article that looks like it will be really helpful or informative, but you just don’t have time to read it! Then, put it in your Pocket! The Pocket app allows you to add articles to your list to read later! You can add articles through email, Facebook, Twitter (this will be really useful for me, since I ALWAYS find TONS of great articles on Twitter!), Flipboard, or by simply copying a URL. It’s great and FREE! Check it out!
