Best Apps That All High School Students Should Use!
With so many advancements in technology during the 21st century, children now are born into an age of learning, adaptation, and media.
As teenagers, we go to school each day, inching towards the future and planning our lives as adults and independent beings. We use phones, social media and technology to make up large aspects of our everyday lifestyles.
While we use them to play games, connect with friends and family and interact with the world, there are many more things you can do on your phone to benefit your education.
Rather than become a burden, excuse or getaway from reality, the internet plays an important role in our upbringing. While the world continues to change, shouldn’t our education change too?
In todays blog post, I’m going to be talking about the ‘Best Apps That All High School Students Should Use!’
Hope you like it!
myHomework Student Planner-
myHomework Student Planner is an easy to use student planner app that is perfect for staying organised and being at your best. The app allows you to track your classes, homework, tests and assignments, receive homework reminders, use a weekly and monthly calendar planner, and see your school period-based schedules, just to name a few. If you want to keep on top of your work and school life, this is the app for you!
Evernote - Notes Organiser-
Evernote is an organisation app that allows you to add to-do lists, images, graphs, study notes and much more. It is the perfect app for writing notes; handwritten, photographed, drawn or typed, and can easily store documents, PDFs and other common files. It is undoubtedly one of the only organisers you’ll ever need!
Forest - Stay Focused-
Forest is a highly renowned focus app known for allowing you to stay present and focused on the more important things in life. Whenever you want to be focused, you plant a virtual tree that grows as you complete your work. However, if you leave the app at any time, the tree will die. Not only is this a fun application, but it allows you to stop your procrastination habits and become productive. Forest is $2.99 in the app store, so if you’re looking for a free version of forest, download the app Flora instead!
Sleep Cycle - Sleep Tracker-
For most high schoolers, getting enough sleep is a struggle. With so much going on in our lives, including having to study, work, go to school, do our homework, participate in extracurriculars and have a life, sleep is unfortunately often the least of our problems. Using Sleep Cycle, you can make waking up early as easy as possible, with a loud and continuous alarm to get you out of bed as well as an intelligent sleep tracker!
Photomath-
Photomath is an amazing app that allows you to take photos of maths problems, no matter the level of difficulty, and give you a step-by-step guide on how to complete the problem as well as its answer. It can be used for almost any unit, including quadratic equations, fractions or basic arithmetic, and is a great study support tool for students of any age!
Remind - School Communication-
When it comes to group assignments, one of the hardest parts about it is often the communication. Sometimes it can be difficult to get everyone in the same place, in order to allocate, organise, plan and execute an assignment. This app, Remind, is the solution. Remind allows instant messaging between students in a group or one-on-one, simple sharing of photos, documents and videos, as well as reminders of completion dates. This can be easily set-up using a unique group code.
Chegg-
The company Chegg owns a bunch of useful study apps including Chegg Prep, Chegg Study and Chegg Maths Solver. Whether you’re stuck on a difficult homework problem, studying for an exam or revising your work, these Chegg apps are exactly what you need! As well as this, Chegg provides you with textbook solutions on-the-go, and allows you to snap photos of questions that you can send to the Chegg experts to be answered.
Brainly - Homework Help-
Brainly is a social learning platform that lets students ask and answer questions they don’t know the answers to. The app's moderators are composed of more than 300 teachers, PhDs, professors and specialists, whose aim is to make sure all the content published there meets high standards. They can answer any and all questions, no matter how difficult or from which subject, and also provide many textbooks and study materials for students of all ages.
Slader Homework Answers-
Slader Homework Answers is a textbook answer-sharing app used by students in high school and university to answer questions from textbooks in varying subjects including maths, science, history, english, world languages, IB, economics, geography and more. The app is practically run by the users themselves, who publicly post the answers from their textbooks to the app.
Quizlet - Flashcards and Learning-
Quizlet is a website based application that helps students study information efficiently through interactive tools, games and flashcards. Quizlets mission is to help students practise and master what they learn in minutes rather than hours, and have found out that 90% of students who use quizlet have seen their grades go up! This app is perfect for anyone who wants to find a way to study efficiently!
Focus To-Do: Focus Timer & Tasks-
Focus To-Do is a simple, easy to use time management app that helps students manage tasks anywhere and anytime. It allows you to perform tasks efficiently using the pomodoro method, a study method that requires 25 minutes of study before a 5 minute rest, repeated 4 times before a 20 minute break. It's the ultimate app for managing tasks, reminders, to-do lists, calendar events, grocery lists, checklists and helping you focus on work & study. It is a science-based app that helps motivate students to get things done.
Duolingo - Language Lessons-
Duolingo is currently the most popular language-learning platform in the world, with more than 500 million users. It is a free educational app that makes learning any language free, fun, game-like and scientifically proven to be effective. The application is often used in schools, and is promoted by teachers all around the world. If you want to learn a new language quickly and efficiently, duolingo is definitely what you need!
My Study Life - School Planner-
My Study Life is a school planner for students and teachers designed to help make your study life easier to manage. This app allows you to store your classes, homework and exams in the cloud, making it available on any of your devices, no matter where you are. It is perfect for scheduling and timetabling, completing tasks on your to-do list, getting reminders of what you need to do and studying for your tests and exams.
Kahoot - Play And Create Quizzes-
Kahoot is a popular game-based learning platform that teaches students about all subjects and topics through creating and playing multiple-choice quizzes. It is used by more than 1 billion users, and is great in a class environment! You can not only play quizzes, but research, create and publicly publish them as well! It’s a great way to make remote learning more fun, and is also known to be super effective!
Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Gmail and Classroom-
Any and all google apps are a must-have for all highschool students! With 90% of high schools using them, it is great to have the apps on your phone to allow you to have easy contact to your email, as well as any school documents that you’ve typed on your computer. Even better, all the apps are synced and connected to your device, making it so you can type out notes on your phone if necessary. For me, I mostly use google classroom, google drive, google docs and google mail. However, depending on you, this may vary.
The Bottom Line:
Without apps, our phones wouldn’t have use or meaning. In the 21st century, apps not only hold our entire lives as teenagers, but they organise them too.
All of the apps above are key to succeeding and flying through school in a positive manner, not only academically but mentally as well.
I hope you enjoyed this array of educational, organisational and entertaining apps.
Have an amazing day!
