==== **Cloudon** is a FREE app that provides 3 **MS Office** programs–Word, Excel, PowerPoint–on the iPad! These programs are completely functional! //**You can create and edit Word, PowerPoint or Excel documents**//, not just view them. Even better, the user interface is almost identical to the computer version. All you need to make it happen, once the app is installed, is a (free) **DropBox** account. Cloudon is so powerful, and the potential so great, that I intend write another more detailed post about it. ====

==== For now, I want readers to know that the Cloudon version of MS Word makes it just as easy to use Word’s equation editor on an iPad as on a computer. Because buttons and icons are smaller on an iPad, some users may prefer to use a stylus with it. (I wrote about Word’s equation editor **HERE** a year ago, and **HERE** three years ago.) ====

**Side by Side - free app for research!**
**Side by Side** is a remarkable free app. With **//Side by Side//**, you can split the iPad screen into as many as four windows that can be positioned and sized as needed. These windows can be used to view multiple websites, PDF’s or MS Word files. Or, any of the windows may be used for note-taking text editors. Text can be copied into a text editor from other open windows. Text-to-speech is available in any of the windows via Speak Selection. //**Side by Side**// has its own browser for opening websites. PDF’s and text files can be opened into //**Side by Side**// from DropBox or from email attachments. Notes written in //**Side by Side**// can be emailed, saved into DropBox or opened into other apps on the iPad. The image below gives an idea of what is possible with //**Side by Side**//. I suspect that there are countless learners who would benefit greatly by using this app in a great many learning activities.
