It’s back to school season, and that means it’s time to go shopping for school supplies. Typically, this includes folders, planners, notebooks, etc. But we have some apps that can be just as helpful!
5 best back to school apps
5. Duolingo
You’ve probably heard of this app if you’ve ever tried to learn a foreign language outside of school before. This app teaches you the foreign language of your choice. This can be an extremely effective way of studying and practicing the foreign language you are learning at school. The best part is, it’s completely free, so you don’t have to worry about spending money on it as a practice tool.
4. Grammarly Keyboard
Grammarly is a keyboard extension app that is essentially a better auto-correct. It’s particularly helpful for writing papers and emailing with your phone. Not only does it offer corrections for your mistakes, but it also explains why it was a mistake and how to fix it in the future. By doing this, it’ll help you with long-term grammar issues you may already be struggling with.
3. EasyBib
Some schools go out of their way to share EasyBib with their students. But for those that don’t, EasyBib is a simple an easy way to create bibliographies for your papers. It can be a huge hassle to put all the time and effort it takes to creating perfect citations all on your own. While it is important to know how to do it, no matter how well you know it, it’s going to take a long time. EasyBib really cuts this time down by helping you generate these bibliographies without needing to format them yourself.
2. Google Drive / Docs / Slides
Being able to access your Google Drive from your phone can be an invaluable tool. You will be able to write papers and make edits on the go. You can even use it to email your projects to yourself or your teacher/professor in case you forgot to print them out at home.
1. MyHomework
As the name suggests, this app is really useful for keeping you organized, especially when it comes to managing homework and activities outside of the classroom. It is a general student planner that can really help you stay organized in your day to day school life.
Each of these apps is useful in its own way, and all of them can be used together to optimizing your experience at school. They can help keep you organized and on track for a great year. Now hit the books, kids!
