Top 8 Ultimate Educational
Apps for Students. Here are eight apps that
students are going to love. All of them solve at least one student problem.
They are all also very popular, which is good because there are a lot of boring
and useless educational apps out there, and it is good to know you are looking
at the best ones.
1. Sleep If U Can
This is an app that wakes
you up in weird way. There are some people who do that thing where you turn of
the alarm and then go back to bed. In order to avoid this, this app will insist
that you take a photo of something before it allows you to turn off the alarm.
The only thing is how does it know what the thing is that you are photographing
in real life, and would it be fooled by a picture of that thing.
2. RealCalc Scientific
Calculator
This is a scientific
calculator in an app. It allows you to do all the things you may do on a
scientific calculator. The only difference is that you can keep going and doing
other things because you are on your phone. Obviously, even though this is a
good Smartphone app, they will not let you take your phone in to the exam with
you. So, it is better to buy your own scientific calculator and then use this
app when that calculator is not around.
3. The Oxford Dictionary
This is a handy app to
have around if you want to know what your teacher or academic councilor is
actually saying to you. You can look up the words you are going to use to
impress the people who mark your essay papers. This tool is also good if you
want to do a mean girls (the movie) thing and learn a different word every week
so that when you talk you may talk with a bigger vocabulary.
4. Babylon
Learning a new language
is hard, which is why this app is so handy. It comes with seventy five
languages that it will happy translate for you. If you are making flashcards
for your project, then you will love this app as it has all the words you will
ever need in order to learn the language.
5. TED
This is a great app that
allows you to see the TED conference videos. The TED has lots of different
people talk on it, and some of them may teach you something if you listen to
them and watch them with this app.
6. Maths Alarm Clock
This is one of those
horrible apps that was created by a sadist in anticipation that we are about to
be retaken by an enemy on the republic. Basically it is an alarm clock, but
when it beeps you cannot turn it right off. You have to answer a math question
first. If you cannot answer the math question then it keeps on ringing until
you get it right. This also means that it does not have a snooze button, which
is a shame because there is nothing better than a snooze after a sleep.
7. JumpCut
This is a pretty cool app
that allows you to see the paste and the copy buttons so that you may press
them and use them instead of going in to a tool to do it. It saves you a lot of
time and it is pretty convenient when you are doing something such as making
notes, researching or are editing your blog and/or your blog comments.
8. SelfControl
This is an app that
forces you to work without interruption. It has a strange way of working. It
allows you to block certain websites. Not only are they blocked from popping
things up on your screen whilst you are trying to do stuff, but they also ban
you from going on the site. You set a time that you are not allow to go on
these websites for and the app will stop you from looking at them. The weird
thing is that if you do put the app on and then block a website, then it is
blocked for the entire duration that you specified. You cannot turn it off;
even if you delete the app it will still keep the websites you requested
blocked until the time you specified is up.
