¡Hola, todos! (Hello, everyone!)

I haven’t posted as much as I should lately simply because I’ve been engrossed in this whole language-learning thing (and incredibly tired all week). And I just learned how to make an awesome chocolate martini (mmmm, Godiva liqueur and vanilla vodka). Ain’t learnin’ fun?!

But yes, I’ve been busy playing with new toys [...]

If, like our very own Frank, you’re a fan of using flash cards for exam revision, tests etc. then you may want to take a look at a new Tablet PC app called InkBuddy. Developed by Raymond Davey, a mature(?) student at the University of Auckland, InkBuddy comes as a result of Raymond’s fruitless search to [...]

Well it’s been 2 months since I scribed the first in my series on how I use my Tablet PC (along with other e-gadgets) to study electronically (and as close to 100% paperless as I can) so before I proceed to the next part, I should perhaps apologise for such a lengthy delay. Over the [...]

Having a tablet lets you do many tasks with more interaction than you would otherwise. Many student tablet owners decide to digitize their books for easier reference and a lighter daily load, but digital books also have other advantages. They’re normal text and therefore you can do anything with them you can do to text, [...]

If you’re going to succeed at being an efficient TabletPC based student (regardless of what program of study you are taking) then it really helps to get, and stay, as organised as possible, and even more so when you’re study routine is primarily digital in nature. Thankfully you can go a long way to achieving [...]

So are you the kind of student that loves using flash cards to review for an exam? Maybe you’ve never put in any thought to writing up a set that would aid you in your studies. Just thinking about carrying a stack of 3×5 index cards everywhere you go seems like something that might make [...]

That’s right. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love my Wikipedia.

In case you haven’t heard, Wikipedia is a free, easy to use, online encyclopedia that is user-edit-able (which is what a wiki is). Usually, a user run encyclopedia would be a bad thing (spam, faulty information, lack of information), but [...]

I know they offer personal Wikis for organizing your information (it you’re particularly fond of the Wiki format) but none of them include ink. I’m just want a simple “insert ink-drawn image” tool so it’d be easy to include formulas and diagrams. That can’t be too hard, right? Why? I’m thinking for study purposes. My classes [...]

Just a quick shout-out to all the students preparing for, taking, or done with Fall finals. The blog’s essentially dead right now because I still have three left (one down!). Things will resume again after 5 pm Monday!In the meantime, some stuff to help you out…Posts:Study Smart With Your Tablet PCForum Topics:what do you [...]

Eric (or Dr. Zückerman) was gracious enough email me a study journal he put together for students using OneNote. Even if you don’t end up using it, it has some good tips for the academically minded. [click here to download]He also included a PDF version of the OneNote files so you can browse it before [...]
