Student life is not easy as there are lots of distractions around in the form of Twitter, SnapChat and CandyCrush. But the online world not only distracts students from studying but also helps them in gaining additional knowledge. There are some apps which help students study and also stay on track. Here are seven such websites and apps for students which they can use while studying:
1. Wakerupper:
It's not an app but a phone-call which can wake you up on your exam day or if you are setting up a reminder. You can enable the snooze button to make sure you get up early on the day of your exam and you can also put a reminder on what has to be done in the immediate future.
2. Lighthead:
Students, these days, mostly prefer online available study material, rather than purchasing them. They don't even take the print-outs to save trees and read the material on computers. But while reading if the keys or the mouse are not touched for a long time, then the laptop falls asleep. With this app your laptop will never feel sleepy while you are busy studying. It's for Mac users only
3. Self-Control:
When you are studying, you can avoid distracting websites with the help of this app. This app, exclusively for Mac users, blocks some websites and apps like Twitter, Facebook and some others which distract students while studying. It increases students' productivity too.
4. ColdTurkey:
This is a Windows app which blocks social media and games so that no distraction takes place during studying. This app has also introduced a new feature which blocks certain groups of websites too.
5. Positive Reinforecement:
With this app, you can type a paper or an essay and once you complete every one hundred words, you are reinforced positively. Positive reinforcement, in this case, signifies pictures of kitten, bunny and puppy. Well yes, nobody can actually hate such cute pictures.
6. Negative Reinforcement:
It acts in the opposite way to the previous one. It sets the time-limit by which you are supposed to complete your writing. If you are not able to reach the given word-limit within the time-frame, then you are gifted with a scary image, which you will obviously want to avoid.
7. Hemingway Editor:
It does all the cleaning job for you. It highlights those parts which are supposed to be changed and help you make the necessary modifications. It doesn't highlight grammar errors but it notifies you about long sentences which need to be split up and which words have been wrongly placed.
