Useful sites for students
In my new position as FM Campus editor I have needed to source helpful, useful and relevant websites for our 10 000 readers to make use of in one of our magazine sections.I have stumbled across some very interesting sites that are extremely beneficial for many students. Unfortunately many of the sites are tailor made for US students.With that said, here are two sites that I think are extremely helpful for SA students. I wish I had these two services when I was a student. My life was such a shambles as many can attest to.Stu.dicio.us - Is a version of Del.icio.us but more student-centric. You can add in your lecture timetable, bookmark relevant sites, set alarms for various events or deadlines and upload files for storage. The two best features of this site are the Facebook link and the mobile option. With the sites link to Facebook users can link up with their friends doing similar courses, with similar deadlines and similar lives and sync in. If they are late, you are late and everyone is late but lets be honest, we all had one friend at Uni who would always be one time!While the mobile option of the services ensures that you have no excuses any more. Wherever you are you can login to the service using your mobile phone and make sure you aren't missing any deadlines!MyNoteIt - This site is a place where students can take, edit and share notes that they make. Students can upload notes, manage their calendars, assignments and stay in touch with classmate groups.Fair enough the two sites seem to overlap somewhat but for some reason they appear to be different to me. Anyways they are both great services that are beneficial for students if they are used diligently and effectively.
