The 7 Best Apps for College Students | Beacon Bolt. There is a wealth of free resources at our disposal! Study habits, scheduling, and textbooks don’t have to be in paper form anymore–the digital future is here and provides tools to make our college experiences more efficient than ever before. 1) Google Drive is a great substitute in lieu of carrying an easily misplaced USB flash drive. Simply uploading a file and being able to access it from any device is quick and convenient. It also functions as free online storage space and its other complementary apps, such as Google Docs, Google Slides and Google Sheets, make handling assignments and presentations less challenging (especially when it comes to printing.) 2) Duolingo is a fabulous app for learning the conversational basics of a language. If you’re thinking of studying abroad or going on a mission trip, Duolingo will introduce the foundation of a language in practical applications for you. 4) Quizlet is useful for studying in any subject.

Kieran Hayde, Sales, Marketing and Groups Manager, Wimbledon School of English At the Wimbledon School of English we’ve been offering blended learning for a number of years, but until now it was mostly through our online learning platform e-Wimbledon.

Our students get free access to e-Wimbledon during their course, three months before and three months after it, but need an internet connection to do the online exercises. We launched our own app to allow our them to improve their language skills on the go, even when not connected to the internet. The app is also available free to the general public and we hope lots of users around the world will download it. The app has been translated into 10 different languages, so even people with no knowledge of English can start improving their language skills. The content divides into lessons so learners can progress through it in small steps in their own time. Our favourite feature comes at the end of every lesson and is called “Your Turn”.

Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".

Connect Fours - A Fun, New Review Game from @RusselTarr. My friend Russel Tarr, who recently took me to a party with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, sent me Twitter DM earlier today about his new review game called Connect Fours. Connect Fours is based on the concept of the connect wall in the BBC gameshow Only Connect. The idea is that you have to create four sets of four related terms from sixteen terms displayed on the board. For example, I created a game about the four major professional sports leagues in the United States. Sixteen team names are displayed on the board and players have to arrange the teams according to the leagues that they belong to. Applications for Education Playing a Connect Fours game could be a good way for students to review big concepts from a unit of study.

One of the sample games that Russel offers is all about World War I. To create your own Connect Fours game head to the game page and select "create new game. " Ipad.
