Now in a world piled high with smartphones, tablets and e－readers, technology has entered the
classroom in ways unimaginable. Taking classes can be fun too. All you have to do is wipe your fingers on
your phone screen and download some Apps, which can make your study more fun and efficient.
Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy--and with the following few apps, it'll
be tough to tell the two apart.
Evernote
Use: note－taking
Can be used on: Phone/iPad/iPod touch, Android, BlackBerry, PalmOS and Windows Phone 7
Price: free
It's hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets, the eager, studious types would still take out a
notepad, pencil, and highlighter－and take notes in class. While it's not an actual planner or calendar App, if you take notes to stay organized, then Evernote is for you. The main thing about Evernote is that all of
your notes are automatically sent into the cloud(云储存平台上)--and then you can access them from any web－connected computer via the Evernote App or a web browser. Evernote also support audio and
photo notes－rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes.
But, of course, ask for permission first.
Wikpanion
Use: research database
Can be used on: iPhone/Pad/iPod touch
Price: free (Wikipanion Plus for$4, 99, or 31. 87 yuan)
Now, you don't necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do
research work for your paper anymore. You can get access to the research databases just on your
smart phone or tablet. Wkipanion gives you a simplified version of Wikipeda without leaving out any of
the site's extra features. The normal links that you'd see to each section of an article xre no longer on the
mainscreen. Instead，there's a small icon located at the bottom of the app, which can be used to access
all the sections of an article. You can also open the links in Safari(苹果)Safari(浏览器). According to
the developers' site, loading Wikipedia pages with Wikpanion is a lot faster than accessing the Wikipedia
site from the iPhone's browses. To be honest, we agree.
