Well, if you are the proud owner of an iPad and have a spare $1.99 in your iTunes account, we just may have the perfect solution for you and it's called State Plate."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1289779381.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Yea, we used to do this old school with a pencil and paper, my how times have changed. This is much improved over my method though, since you can also learn about the state when you tap the screen next to the plate. When you do, you get another window that displays all kinds of information such as nicknames, flowers, birds, population and other facts that might help you if you play a trivia game later. This one sells in the iTunes Store for $1.99 [<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=VoxLcfp5Si4&subid=&offerid=177776.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/state-plate/id400670558?mt=8" target="_blank">affiliate link</a>], but I see there is another one called <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/state-hunt/id387834349?mt=8" target="_blank">State Hunt</a> that is free, but it doesn't have the educational aspect of State Plate. It is however a universal app so you can use it on your iPhone or iPod Touch. </p>
