ClassDojo is a classroom tool that helps teachers improve behavior in their classrooms quickly and easily. It also captures and generates data on behavior that teachers can share with parents and administrators. The ClassDojo iOS app gives you access to all of your class rosters and all of the behavior reporting tools that you would use in the browser-based version of ClassDojo. You can access all of your classes and give out positive and negative marks to students through the app. You can't, however, create new classes through the app. Class Dojo's YouTube Channel: http://goo.gl/qu6oKN

Dropbox is a home for all your photos, docs, videos, and files. Anything you add to Dropbox will automatically show up on all your computers, phones and even the Dropbox website — so you can access your stuff from anywhere. The benefit of using Dropbox over Google Docs is you only need 1 classroom account. Login on each device and create folders for projects or individual students. The drawback would be that all students have access to each others folders.

Google Drive is a personal cloud storage service from Google that helps users store and synchronize digital content across computers, laptops and tablets.
