FREE educational iPad apps (7/15 listing)

The following educational iOS apps are free today. Items in italics are newly free today. Apps of exceptional value or use are bolded. Download the apps as soon as possible as they can go to paid status at any time.
Once you download a free app, you'll enjoy its free price forever. For example, a paid app that you download today for free will remain free when you re-download it in the future, even if its price has gone back to paid. So, if you think you might ever want a particular free app, even if you don't need it right away, go ahead and download it while it's free, wait 24 hours, and then delete it from your device. You'll always own the app as free after that. Or download it on your computer in iTunes and don't install it on your device.
