Total cost was under $20 (I wonder if there is an app for frugal). Although I am still testing (playing with) most of these apps there are a few that have stood out so far...

Comic Touch Lite is an excellent free program. It enables you to use your photos and insert captions to them. Interactive cool factor.

Doodle Kids was apparently developed by a nine year old and allows you to draw in doodle form whatever the small screen will allow. Have not yet figured out the classroom applications but once again - cool factor.

Miss Spell's Class is a nice app for more advanced readers (I have yet to get a perfect score).

3D Words is another game for advanced readers where you are timed to find wors from a list of letters.

Comics + has many free comics and graphic novels as well as a long list of ones you can purchase.

Talking Boby Celik allows you to write text which he will repeat in his robot voice or simply repeat what you say. Cool interaction.

aTypo Picture lets you put letters and words into your photos so they help make up the new picture.

Also the iAcadia app is useful to those unfamiliar with the campus (and even some of us who thought they were).
