It’s no secret that technology is making students’ lives easier than ever before (the EdTech industry alone is expected to receive more than 2B in funding in 2015). In preparation for back-to-school season, here are some of the top apps that are expected to dominate the classroom this fall and make students’ lives easier in the process. Have other apps that you think should make the list? Let us know in the comments!
Referencing
RefME is a free desktop, iOS and Android app that eliminates the most miserable part of drafting a term paper - writing bibliographies by hand. The platform allows students and researchers to create citations and bibliographies in a matter of seconds - in fact, and in addition to their mobile app, RefME recently launched a WebClipper extension for Safari and Chrome user, making citing any source as easy as hitting the "like" button on Facebook. Now, cite is the new like! Nearly one million students have created 10M+ citations since the RefME platform launched September 2014.
Math
Mathway is a free app that helps solve your math problems anywhere, anytime. Available on desktop, iOS and Android, Mathway provides free instant access to your math problems in Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics, Finite Math, Linear Algebra, Chemistry or more.
Studying
My Study Life. The free My Study Life app replaces any paper planner by keeping track of your workload across multiple platforms and devices. Manage your classes with week and day timetables, keep track of tasks and exams in the cloud and receive notifications to keep you up to date for exams and classes.
Languages
Duolingo. The Duolingo app is an addictive, fun way for students to learn a new language. Duolingo pairs new words with pictures much like the Rosetta Stone versions do, only the app is completely free with no ads to get in your way.
Social Learning
Brainly, is the world's largest social learning network for students, to help each other get unstuck with their homework problems.
Budgeting
The Mint app links up with your bank account so you don’t run out of cash at the end of the month. College students typically have limited disposable income, and Mint helps set billing reminders so you won’t have to pay any late fees.
Health and Fitness
With Human, the world is your gym. Human is an app that helps you move 30 minutes or more, every day. It automatically picks up your walks, runs, bike rides, and other exercise. Being a student puts pressure on you to perform well educationally, but it’s equally important to manage your fitness and health.
