Summer has flown by and now it’s time to get back to school! Incoming Freshmen face so many new challenges, why not set them up for success with handy tech tools in app form? I scoured the web looking for the best of the best, and found that CNN Money did a fantastic job of  compiling the essentials. From Mint (keep track of the starving student’s budget) to Byword (write and edit papers on an iPad) to Audio Memos (record lectures, oral notes, and discussion sessions), to iTunes U (media-rich course delivery and organization), these 11 apps are packed with the power to help your student stay organized and on top of a busy course load.

Tell us, what tech tools is your college Freshman (or woman) taking with them?
