Whether you are a high school student, a college graduate, or someone who is just getting back into the world of education at any age, you might as well use the internet to help you find real success.
There are plenty of different online tools that can bring you more success in the academic world, and many of them can even make your school work easier!
Here are some of the best online tools you can use whenever you go back to school.
1. Grammarly
No matter what style of education you are pursuing, you are going to be doing at least some level of writing while pursuing your degree.
You might be writing essays every single day, or have 20% of your grade depend on one written assignment, and quite a lot of assignments have some points for grammar and proper spelling.
However, whether you are writing the essay on three hours of sleep and two coffees right before the deadline, or you have meticulously planned out an entire schedule and are writing the essay as you do, you will eventually run into grammar problems.
Even the free version of Grammarly can catch the majority of grammar issues, and if you have a professionally written article then your professors are going to notice it!
2. An Online Scheduler
Whether you are taking 10 classes all at the same time or just taking one to get one degree, academic life can get very overwhelming.
Projects, deadlines, life responsibilities, and other issues can very easily get all out of control to the point where you forget one or two things and then you go about forgetting everything!
In order to prevent yourself from running into all of these problems, then you need to make sure that everything you do is scheduled.
There are plenty of online scheduling options where you can put all your projects, deadlines, and events all into one calendar and then you can get notifications on your phone when certain events are starting and stopping.
3. The Pomodoro Timer
To go with the online scheduler, you also need something that will keep you on track when you are in the trenches completing the project, and the pomodoro timer is a fantastic timekeeping method.
There are dozens of free websites and programs that take you through the timer (which is typically 25 minutes on, then 5 minutes off) or one of the many variations.
But the goal of the timer is to break your work into easy chunks of time with breaks in between, vs having you work for long hours.
4. Get a Good Citation Generator
Finally, for any educational essay you will need to properly cite your sources and this can be done in a variety of ways.
To make sure that all the sources you used are properly cited, you need to use an accurate citation generator like Quillbot.
Quillbot allows you to pick a format, find your resource, and then it will properly give you a citation in that format.
That makes citing your sources easy, and also frees you from the fear of getting a citation wrong! Because that can be a massive problem in any academic setting.
Don’t Be Afraid to Use the Internet
If academic life is getting you down, then you need to see if there’s a tool that can help you out.
As long as you are using these tools ethically and to support your education, there’s no limit to what they can do for you and how they can help you out. Explore and see what tools are out there!
