Online Bookmarking
The good thing about this is that you can narrow down to what you find useful. If you're limited on time, you can go back and read it later or if it's a subject you teach ever year, it's right there and you don't have to search them out the next year. It's on your iPad so you don't have to worry about losing papers or remember where you put it. This would be more for me then my first graders though.
Dictionary
I would recommend Dictionary.com. Because of its ease of use. I couldn't even get the microphone to work on the other app. With first graders the microphone is a necessity, since they won't be able to spell most words they are looking for.
Citations
This is much easier than the old days (hand writing), my high schooler used to use citation machine online and was AMAZED at how much better this was. He said, "we've had iPad's at school for two years now, why didn't we learn about this app for our English papers?" It's easily enough that a first grader can use it!
