Smartphones are a great communication tool, a top-notch camera, and an endless source of entertainment. However, modern services and applications can turn a smartphone into an inexhaustible source of knowledge on any topic.
You just need to take your smartphone out of your pocket to get access to almost all the knowledge of the world. One query in a search engine separates a person from the answer to a question that worries him. It is impossible to list all the applications from which you can draw knowledge on your smartphone. However, there are a few that are particularly curious.
Quizlet
Quizlet is a knowledge consolidation app that can really be useful for students. Students of foreign language departments create thousands of “cards” on which a word is written in Russian on one side and a word in English on the other. Flashcards are an excellent method of capturing not only words, but also concepts from each area. It is a shame that so few teachers are encouraging to work with this method.
Quizlet are nothing more than virtual cards. You can create your own sets on your smartphone, depending on the current content, or view cards created by other users. Quizlet allows students to use the materials, and even allows teachers to prepare materials for their students. This is an indispensable exam preparation app!
