Top 5 Productivity Apps - A Student's Perspective*

Jessica Razza-Lindsey Class of 2014

5. PowerSchool

"See live attendance, assignments, scores, grades and more, right from your teachers' grade books."

Every student should follow up on how their grades are doing. With the PowerSchool app it's easy to access assignment grades, and class grades so you know what to expect when report card time rolls around.

4. iBooks

"iBooks is an amazing way to download and read books."

Lugging around heavy books, along with all other school materials, can be exhausting and that can discourage kids from bringing books home or to class every day. Having text books available electronically whenever you need them, in your iBook library, is like a gift for students of all ages.

3. Adobe Reader

"Adobe Reader is the free, trusted leader for reliably viewing and interacting with PDF documents across platforms and devices."

Many teachers (in schools like Grafton High) give worksheets in the form of a PDF, and what program is better to view or edit a PDF other than the known Adobe Reader?

2. Pages

"Pages is the most beautiful word processor you've ever seen on a mobile device."

Being a student, you have to take enormous amounts of notes, do small class projects, write papers, answer open response questions, and so much more. With Pages, you can keep all of your files organized, and you have almost all of the capabilities that you would in a Word program, in a very user friendly format.

1. inClass

"Organize your schedule. Share your notes. Ace your classes."

Aside from actually doing all of your work, the most important key to being productive is knowing what you need to do, when you need to have it done by, and how much time you need to do it. With inClass you have a big amount of options and ways to organize your schedule, with a calendar, and to do list, you'll always have all of your work done on time.
