FETCHme
http://www.fetchmeapp.com/
FETCHme
Collect pictures, screenshots, and app information from multiple mobile devices. View and organize your collection in a browser.
Without FETCHme, the only way for you to capture information from multiple devices is to physically look at each and every device, and then manually record the information that is important to you. Or, to request that device users capture and email photos, screenshots, or device information to you. These methods are slow, unreliable, clumsy, and disorganized.
With FETCHme, device users can share anything with just a few clicks. Any picture, any information from any app and nearly any device. Everything gets uploaded to the cloud where you can view it at any time through a web browser. Senders can even add notes and annotations to screenshots and pictures. FETCHme works great for home, school, and work.

Stick Pick
http://www.ipadcurriculum.com/2011/06/stick-pick-app/
Stick Pick
Pick a student at random just by giving your device a shake or tapping the screen -- but that’s just the beginning.
Stick Pick suggests question starters for learners at different levels and also records how well students respond during classroom discussions.
If a student is consistently scoring near the top or bottom, simply change the level so students aren't bored or frustrated. Depending on students' levels of English proficiency, they might be asked simple yes-or-no questions or to elaborate in longer sentences.
Stick Pick is the first app of its kind to uniquely link question stems to the cognitive or linguistic needs of each individual learner. Teachers can have multiple soup cans (classes) filled with sticks (students). During setup, teachers choose a category of question stems they wish to focus on for each learner. Questions can be based on Bloom's Taxonomy, English as a second language skills, and degree of difficulty can be chosen for each learner.
Stick Pick is a handy tool for any teacher device and can guide classroom discussion and formative assessment in really helpful ways. Teachers can mark sticks so they aren't constantly calling on the same students or asking students the same questions over and over again.
Students in small groups can use Stick Pick too. During small group work, students can take turns asking one another questions based on Bloom's Taxonomy, making group work more productive and on-task.
