4 Online Tools That Make Work Easier

I don't actually spend a lot of time exploring the internet but when I do go online I have a few tools I like to use: 

While I do see myself as a creative individual, sometimes I need a little inspiration and Pinterest has helped me out immensely. From fashion tips to recipes this "visual discovery tool" has it all. I tend to use this site the most for cooking when I'm in the mood for a new recipe, but I have also used it for interior decorating and craft project ideas. 

Youtube is another reference site I use a lot, lately as a learning tool for fly tying and other fly fishing related videos. I also use it a lot for school and listening to music on occasion. For this class, especially, this site has been a valuable tool for learning the ins and outs of certain computer programs like excel and powerpoint.    


I have never used STUDYBLUE but I ran across this online tool and found that it could come in very handy for school. This site provides study tools and allows you to create customized flashcards. In a few terms I will be begin taking Anatomy and Physiology classes for my program and I know I will be using this tool alot.


Khan Academy is another study tool that provides tutorials and lessons for a variety of subjects for all grades and a variety of topics. When I was in school a few years ago working on a different degree I used this site a lot to supplement my math and chemistry classes when I needed a different perspective from what my instructor was providing. I highly recommend this site for any student! I even plan on using this tool during winter term to brush up on my math skills while taking a chemistry class. I took the prerequisite for this class several years ago so instead of retaking the class I am hoping this tool will serve as a good refresher course.
