Here is a comprehensive list of apps and tools for students returning to school. It is a fairly decent list and of course there is no way they could have included everything. One particular app/tool that was included was FileDestructor. For the life of me I'm not quite sure why they included it since its purpose is deception. Oh well, obviously not put together by an educator!
