Happy Spring Semester!

Welcome back or welcome to the Pratters community!

Here are some tips to make sure you start off on a good foot this semester:

• Get a planner. Or even a notebook to just keep in your pocket and jot down things so you don't remember. Smart phones work too!

• Speaking of smart phones, download some of the great apps for college students!
• Google Drive
• Keep PDFs and other documents handy on your smart phone, just download the desktop app and save them into your drive to open on your phone's app!
• Pocket
• Clip articles in the Chrome extension to then sync with your phone's Pocket app
• Evernote
• A note taking software for lists, journals, and more
• EasyBib
• Need help citing a book? Get the app and scan your books barcode and the app will generate your citation for you.
• StudyBlue Flashcards
• Flashcards are an effective way to memorize information, but making them is a headache. With StudyBlue, use text, pictures and audio to create the perfect stack of (digital) flashcards; or, search the massive database to borrow someone else's.
• Dictionary.com
• Dragon Dictation
•  Dragon Dictation uses accurate voice recognition software to let you speak and instantly see your words in text.Try this if you're in a time crunch and really need to churn out an essay; or, if you're just someone who prefers speaking over writing.
• Mint
• Mint.com is a web and mobile app that helps you keep track of your spending.
• TED
• Instant TED Talks videos
