Web+Tools

Here are some sites to share with you high school students preparing for college. Some of these tools are great for college students who need some organizational guidance:

[|**Book Finder:**] Book Finder is a site that allows you to compare prices on more than 125 million books for sale from 4,000 sellers. So there’s no need to go to Amazon, Half.com and all the other book sites when Book Finder can search them for you.

[|**MynoteIT:**] If you’re a real organization freak—you’ll love this app. Like the Google suite, you’ll have everything at your fingertips. Form online class groups, share, edit and search your class notes, plan your assignments with your calendar, and get things done with your task list.

[|**Ottobib:**] Ottobib is a simple bibliography tool that allows you to enter multiple ISBN numbers at a time and retrieve the bibliographies in APA, MLA, or Chicago format.

[|**Google Docs:**] Google Docs can be used for collaboration work. With Google Docs the user can give a study partner editing ability on a particular document and they can work on the paper at the same time while talking on AIM.

[|**Tada List:**] If you never can remember what homework assignments you have, Tada List will do it for you. It will help you keep track of whatever it is that you need to do and easily is accessible from any computer, wherever you are.

You can create as many “to do” lists as you like, such as “homework,” “projects,” or whatnot, and then track your items via RSS. Also, for a step up try [|Backpack]. It manages your tasks, but also allows you to set up pages to store important files, photos and the like.

[|**Zoho Show:**] With Zoho Show students can edit, import, create and publish PowerPoint presentations online.

[|**Del.icio.us:**] This social bookmarking site allows you to have all your bookmarks in one place and to share them with other people. The advantage to this site is that a student can access their bookmarks on ANY computer.
