Organizing school life with mySchoolog

myschoolog plannerGetting and staying organized in any school level can be a little difficult, now there is a free online application that could help.

mySchoolog is an online application that students can easily use to track and organize their school lives. Users start off by entering lessons they take and organizing them into categories, and make weekly schedules. Schedules can be made through a drag and drop lesson planner with times associated for each class to keep them organized. Of course it has a to-do area where appointments, homework and anything else can be added, and reminders set to be sent out by email or sms. Lesson notes can be entered online, searched, exported and printed so they can be kept and used when required. 20GB of File storage is available for documents, audio or images, and can be categorized by lesson.

But really, is there any time to organize yourself while in school? Sometimes not, so hopefully this might help a bit.

NoteCentric class note storage and sharing

notecentric note organizationNoteCentric is a web based note taking application, that allows for easy storage, and sharing of class notes. One thing that students aren't is organized. You know it's true. There are too many school functions (parties) going on, that it's sometimes hard to keep track of, and organize your notes. NoteCentric requires registration for access. Once you're in, Adding classes and notes is a breeze. Friends can be invited to the specific notes you are writing for sharing and collaboration purposes, which is a very handy feature. RSS feeds are available for each note that is taken, allowing for easy sharing, and reading with any feed reader. The search functionality built into NoteCentric was not working in the demo version. If you could use a little more organization in your scholarly endeavors, try out the simplistic NoteCentric.

NoteMesh: Collaborative note sharing for students

NoteMeshMany people are now heading back to school, for the fall semester. A new service aims to make the learning experience a socially-sharable one. NoteMesh is a collaborative wiki-like way for students to share their class notes, helping other students who missed a day, are out "sick" or help for exams and term-papers. Finally the collective knowledge of the masses is put to good use in the classroom. I could see online-only students benefiting from the service as well, since the service caters to students who are online anyway. One thing I don't like about the service is that you can't use it if you don't have and use your school's provided email account. I understandd the need for authentication, but they can't possibly verify that each person is a part of a certain class anyway, so what's the point?

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
