mynoteIT is an online note taking tool for students. A student can log on and take notes on whatever they wish. As with most online text tools, notes can be shared with others, allowing for easy collaboration. One can also easily search through notes for relevant information. mynoteIT also includes a to-do list and calendar.
One really slick feature is the ability to set up ‘class groups.’ As the name implies, these are intended to allow students in the same class to associate with one another. This is great for those wanting to share notes and ideas with classmates.
While the site is pretty slick, it faces the same problems many online note/text/calendar tools face. The majority of students don’t have a laptop with them to take notes during class. More technical majors, such as Computer Science may see a large portion of students taking notes on a computer, but they are still in the minority. As laptops become more prevalent in class, tools like this may take off, but for now they are going to have limited reach.

Google notebook functions as an online version of the versatile notebook. It allows you to capture and organize pictures, text, and other web content. You can then organize these them into sections, add your own notes, etc. Browser extensions are available that make adding content to your notebook very easy. As with all Google products, you can leverage the power of Google’s search technology to quickly find any note. Another really neat feature is the collaboration capability. Much like Google Docs, you can open up your notebook to others, allowing them to add and make changes. Finally, you can publish your notebook by making it a public web page. Overall, Google Notebook is a pretty slick tool for capturing disparate web content.

Stress is a fact of college, arising from a number of causes:
- Intense work-loads needing completing in a short amount of time
- Guilt and worry because you feel that you are neglecting one or two modules in order to keep up with or complete another
- Not understanding a particular issue or requirement and not being able to find someone who is able to help.
In future posts, stress reduction tips will be provided and discussed.
Litsum provides free online literature summaries and study guides. The catalog doesn’t have everything a student might need, but it’s all free. Definitely a good site to keep bookmarked for those last minute papers.

Four by eight foot Melamine tile wall panels sell for about $13 at Home Depot. It’s normally used for lining bathroom walls, or making shower stalls. This stuff is actually what real whiteboards are made of, and these cheapies work great. Just use some adhesive glue or screws and cover a wall for brainstorming at it’s best.
I’ve been known to take pictures of to-do lists with my phone for later reference, but scanR takes the idea even further. After registering with the site, just take a picture of your document and send it to scanR. The picture gets cleaned up and converted to a PDF file for further use. You can also scan whiteboards, great for those archaic drawings your professor throws up. The quality of the scans isn’t real fantastic, but with higher quality camera phones on the way, things can only get better.
