The 21st century is tagged the digital century. In this century, we're more digital than physically tangible. Our daily activities are revolving around the internet and other digital technologies. Businesses, education, faiths, governance and technologies are leading the revolution.
As students, we're not left behind as we're the main focus of tomorrow. As a result of the digital revolution, I compiled a list of 12 android apps that students should at least have have to make their learning more easier, enjoyable and more efficient.
- Quora - How cool will it be to ask complex questions and get them answered by experts around the world? Well quora is here for that. All you need to do is download the app, register, ask your questions and get them answered in the mean time. And yes quora absolutely free to use. With quora, you may also offer to answer questions that you are expertised on.
- RealCalc - Scientific calculator costs quite a fortune yeah. RealCalc is a scientifically programmed calculator packaged into an app. You don't have to panic anymore for leaving your scientific calculator in the hostel as RealCalc does the job.
- CamScanner - Like myself that prefer to listen to the lecture than to listen and jotte simultaneously, this app is ours. It uses the phones rear camera to scan a hard copy of a document and instantly convert it into a clear PDF file. Pretty cool huh? That CamScanner, go get yours.
- PronounceIT - This app pronounce a word/phrase or sentence correctly on more than 20 languages. Enter your word or sentence and get it pronounced correctly and instantly. Its that easy.
- Canomapp - With this app, you may refuse to listen or jotte the lecture, it'll do the job. Canomapp records audio in a high quality format. It gives room for Editting the prerecorded notes. Get your seat on the front row, start your initiate your canomapp and sleep off( assuming your lecturer won't mind).
- Lock me out - As the name implies, the app locks you out of your phone for a the time you choose. It does so by changing your device's pin or password and only changes it to the correct code after the capped time elapse. The first time I used the app I was freaked out but it works so well. It's very helpful as it stop me from accessing my fancy games till the time frame I chose elapse. Go and give it a try.
- Forest - Just like lock-me-out it stops you from accessing your phone. But unlike lock-me-out, it doesn't change your code. This app let you plant a seed and let it grow into a tree in 30 minutes. Exiting the app or minimizing it will kill you pretty, innocent, little plan ( something you won't prefer). To access your phone, you'll have to wait for baby plant to grow into a tree within the 30 minutes. This growth time is a perfect time to focus on that handout, in fact finish it off. Try it, it cool.
- Duolingo - This app teaches you global languages from a newbie to a pro. Perfect for students of history and international relationship studie. People willing to travel to their dream country can use this app as it's handy, easy to operate and cost free.
- PDF readers - There are collections of android PDF readers out there. Get the one that suite your demand and dig in to the world of hard-copy- free life.
- WhatsApp - I bet you have this app. Convert it Into a tutorial group buy creating a group and adding your study mates into it. You can share PDFs, send voice notes etc. A WhatsApp group accommodates up to 256 people.
- Google Drive - This app saves your documents in the cloud storage ( internet storage). You can access your files wherever, whenever.
- KhamAcademy - Do you learn more by listening to the lecturer and seeing him/her demonstrate example on board? Yes? Then this app is yours. If has videos in wide range of programs( if not all programs). Just install the app, register, search for you topic and stream the video all at the comfort of your home and free of charge.
