With iPad sales continuing to stagnate, focusing on education makes a lot of sense. After all, it’s clear the kids love using them in the classroom.

"Google Keep is like virtual sticky notes, but it’s so much more. Create notes in your Google Keep with a headline and body text. Add check boxes to make an instant checklist — perfect for a grocery list or a “grading to do” list."
