 Hello everybody. My name is Andrea with dental L. I tutor dental hygiene and dental assisting students past the board exam, but also if you're still in school and just simply need help. So I'm going to talk to you guys about very efficient ways to study note taking how to make your lives as students so much easier because I've been there, done that I know how hard it can be. So I'm just going to jump right into it. I'm going to share my screen and show you guys a number of things to make your lives easier. So let me just jump right in because if you're watching me you probably should be studying right now but if you're not, that means you're taking a break which is even better but I don't want to take too much of your time. So there is something called the study bunny study bunny. So it is a super cute app that you can download here's just some examples for you that sets timers, you can set your study schedule, and if you follow that schedule and follow those timers that you set for yourself. You can feed the bunny carrots, give the bunny certain things the bunnies happy. But if you don't do those things if you don't follow along with the schedule you create then the bunny gets sad and that's not good. So this is just a super fun way to keep motivated and be super productive while you are studying. The next thing I love this is a cheatography cheatography so this is something where you can get cheat sheets. I just did a quick search where I typed in dental and look at these that came up let's say you are studying for anatomy. I'm going to type an anatomy head and neck. Because that is something as dental hygiene students and dental assisting students you have to study for. Oh, it didn't find anything so maybe I'm not supposed to be as specific. I can just type in anatomy and then I bet all of the cheat sheets are down below. Yes, so this makes more sense. So look you guys and it even has the very basics of anatomy talking about the intro, talking about the, the human organism you just have to click, and then pops up how fantastic is this amazing study tools at your fingertips. I have a ton of ads right now I apologize but look at this you guys fantastic I wish I had this when I was a student. Another thing is canva. You do not have to pay for canva just get the one that you don't have to pay for. I probably had the free one for years. Now I have the pro one just simply because I use it multiple times a day for my own business, but you can get the free one. This is amazing to help to make your PowerPoints more exciting. Let's say you like to create PowerPoints. Templates to really aid in your your studying note taking you want to take nicer notes. This can be a great way to do that again you guys for free. But a word of caution is this is so much fun that you could spend hours just picking the right image the right this the right that so be careful okay but definitely check it out. This is something you might be interested in. I've heard of this one. This is called Anki, you can make your own intelligent flashcards. Excuse me I had to go up. What student doesn't want to make their own so this is an app you can download. Again, I was hoping it was going to show you guys and in action. It's not doing that but if this is something you would be interested in I definitely suggest checking it out. This is an option. This is something I wish I had when I was a student. It's basically your own calendar your own notebook your own agenda in one place. Guess what it's free so this is a great way of looking at it you can put in your anatomy class your oral pathology class you can put in when you have tests exams, you can put in your marks for anatomy class, you can put in when your exams are coming up you can put in notes. Definitely check this out this is something that is so popular right now, and it's a lot of fun to get everything set up just have a look. You don't have to pay for it so if you're the type of person which most people are. There are so many things on the computer to say okay when is my next anatomy exam, what marks have I had in anatomy you can do it all right here and make it look nice. I don't know about you but I can just write something on a piece of paper I can just write something in a plain old template on the computer, but if it doesn't look pretty I'm like I don't even want to look at it. It looks pretty I keep coming back to it maybe that's just me, but it just makes me feel better so definitely check this out. Now this I hate to sound like a broken record, another thing I wish I had when I was a student. You can type in all of your different assignments exams projects tests, what mark you have on that and what percentage that particular class is it or sorry that particular class or exam is worth for that class. There were so many times when I was in school that sure I would get 90% on one test but then like 60% on another. Well, do I really have to study really hard for that exam or can I maybe ease off a little bit and study harder for other ones. This will really help you guys definitely check it out I will leave the link for you down below so definitely have a look. Another one that people were talking about kind of a lifestyle app here to look at like different study tools products all of that I haven't looked into this too much yet. But if you're just curious to see what's out there. Again, I was hoping it would show you guys in real time but it's not really doing that so I kind of want to say forget about this one. If I was editing my videos which I don't have time for that yet I would just edit this part out so you know what guys never mind about this one haha laugh a little bit let's move on. Google calendar, I use Google calendar in fact I'm going to pull up mine right now I'm going to hold it away from the screen a little bit but I want to show you guys all the pretty colors that I have see can you guys see. I, and this is looking at it by day, you can look at it by month, all of that. Okay, lots of fun there. Definitely check it out this will help you organize your class schedule, when you have an exam coming up when you have tests coming up. When you have notes you want to take if you just quickly want to put in there. I need to pick up milk on the way home you can set a reminder. Guess what it's free. It kind of works with your you know email cell phone tablet whatever you have I love Google calendar. Check it out right now but again a word of caution. It's very easy to get suckered into it and spend like hours making pretty colors putting in everything. Do a little bit at a time focus day by day but you are truly going to love this I use Google calendar for everything for my personal when I'm booking patients on tutoring classes I use it for everything. Last but not least, this is amazing for those of you who like to listen to some very calming music, while you're trying to study or maybe you just need some noise in the background. This is something that you also do not have to pay for if you like to listen to the rain, you can do that if you, if you want coffee shop noises while you're, you know, studying but your home, you can do that. This is fantastic. Another app to download. Okay, so just a quick recap for you. This one here is just something fun that helps to keep you on track for your studying set a timer for 20 minutes study anatomy. If you do that you were successful, you can feed the bunny carrots do other things and then the bunnies happy yay.
