EssayAssistant help writing essays<\/a> so you could choose which app you like more. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAlthough the program also detects a lot of punctuation errors, the really interesting thing about this free extension is that it helps students write more concisely, helping them “get to the point” of what they are trying to convey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aspect of this extension that we really like is that whether you’re using it to write an essay, post a comment on YouTube, or send an email, you have the option to save Grammarly sentences in a separate window to the right of the work you’re doing. That way, you won’t be distracted by pop-ups and can jot down your ideas before you start editing. If this free extension sounds like something you need, here’s an informative video about the free version of Grammarly so you can decide for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Useful Apps for Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Accessing useful tools on your smartphone or tablet is one way to help you succeed in your studies, but it’s hard to know what will really be useful and what will just take up space on your device. Here are a few suggestions of apps that we find useful for our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google Docs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Mobile appsGoogle Docs and Google Drive are handy to have on the go. That way, no matter where you are – in the dentist’s office or in the passenger seat behind the wheel – you’ll have access to your digital notes, essays and study guides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quizlet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Quizlet offers both an app and online access so you can create your own flashcards for easy study. It is easy to use and provides another opportunity to learn on the go. Although Quizlet offers users the ability to access flashcards posted by others, we’ve found that creating your own is the best use of this tool for students. Creating your own online flashcards gives you the opportunity to learn while you create them, and ensures that the information you are learning is reliable and accurate. We’ve seen some tutorials on this resource that don’t meet these requirements, so we recommend this resource as a way to create your own tutorial resource rather than looking for someone else’s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simple Mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Simple Mind is a Mind Mapping tool that helps you brainstorm and organize information for writing assignments or as a study guide. In the basic, free version of this app, students can add, delete, edit, and move topics around. They can connect ideas on a mental map or online and change the brainstorming layout. For visual learners who need to be able to manipulate topics and see their ideas online before they write, this app can be a valuable tool. To use it as a study tool, you can turn your notes into a graphic organizer, creating a network for basic concepts and specific details of the material you are studying. Overall, this is a good option for those who work best by visually manipulating their ideas when writing and studying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improve English<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Improving English: Vocabulary, Grammar, Flashcards is an option for students who need a little extra help with both English and some basic math concepts. Its 4.5 rating on the Google Play Store speaks for itself. This app offers English correction and practice in vocabulary, grammar, idioms, and phrasal verbs. If you need an overview of math, Improve English offers a tips and tricks section, help with ratios and proportions, progression, averages, and percentages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merriam Webster Dictionary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Merriam Webster Dictionary App is an “oldie but a goodie.” It has been around for a long time for a reason. For students who read on their own, a reliable dictionary app is a must. You can download it to your phone and have it at the ready when you encounter a word you’re not quite sure of. Referring to the dictionary when encountering difficult words is a great way to understand what you’re reading as well as interact with new vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Google Calendar is a proven app that will help you keep track of assignments, set reminders for any deadlines you’ve set for yourself, and help you remember to interrupt your chores and take time to check and study. The fact that you can share your deadlines in a group makes it easier for parents to help their students meet their goals. You can set up as many notifications as you want, so if you want to be reminded a month in advance, a week in advance, a few days in advance, and the day of your set deadline, act! Busy students and families can use this to make sure everyone is aware of the student’s schedule. This is a valuable resource for online students and their families. Watch this video to see what the Google Calendar app can do for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
