Sorry, student slackers. Technology has made it so that you have even less of an excuse for failing to show up to class on time or to turn in a homework assignment.
"There's an app for that," should be the mantra of every teacher faced with a student who needs help organizing and completing daily tasks. But there's good news. Chaos can be coordinated.
To do just that, I suggest iStudiez Pro. The just-released version for Windows follows a hugely popular app that ran across Macs, iPhones and iPads. iStudiez Pro has a unique planner that lets you keep track of the most complicated schedules, even classes that alternate weeks. Users can set up recurring due dates for teachers who have monthly or weekly assignments, and they can also prioritize assignments so the most important stuff gets done quicker. Not only is this a great app for high school and college students, but I could also see it being a useful tool for parents of young children who need to keep track of tons of appointments.
There's something for Android users along these lines too, an app called Studious — and be careful, there are two apps with this name. Get the one by Braden Young. It keeps track of your schedule and assignments but there's one feature that makes it stand out — this app automatically silences your phone during lectures and classes.
MyHomework Student Planner is the digital version of a Trapper Keeper. It works across just about every platform you can think of, from Windows 8 to Chrome. Reminders help you stay on top of your assignments so you don't forget when they're due. If you're lucky enough to attend a school that integrates with this app, you can look forward to using the app to communicate with your teachers as well.
Communication tools that help parents, teachers and students connect abound this year. Some of the best- regarded include Remind, which helps teachers and students message each other without having to exchange phone numbers; Classdojo, which lets teachers give live feedback and virtual rewards to students in the classroom; and Edmodo, an app that acts much like a social network, allowing for online studying with peers and a ton of collaboration outside the classroom.
So now that all manner of digital tools exist to churn out productive students, no excuses, right? Then again, who am I kidding? It's only a matter of time before we start hearing the phrase, "My app ate my homework."
