Does your student have homework reading assignments that require him/her to access an online article and your student does not have Internet at home? No Internet – no problem! The Instapaper app is a simple way to save and store articles to be read later. This iOS app eliminates website clutter by providing a clean copy of just the article. This thoughtfully created app enables the user to control the font, color themes, spacing options and to use a text-to-speech option. Additional features include the ability to highlight text and sort your list of articles by popularity, date and article length or create folders for easy organization.
