Merge PDF

Do you have a million PDF files floating around? I know I do.

And do any of those relate to each other? Here's a nice little site that'll help you combine all of them. Into one .pdf file.

YouTube to mp3 + Cut

    

Sometimes you'll be watching someone's awesome cover of your favorite song and you like it better than the original. So you search for a download link, but alas, there is none. So you go back to your copy of the original, thinking about how much better the cover was.

And now, you won't have to. With these two sites, you can not only download the cover, but cut off any other bits at the beginning and end of the video. It will be only a .mp3 file, so if you want the video too, use this link to download the video.

Free YouTube Converter

So you're on YouTube. And you come across the best video you've ever seen. Maybe it's a cat video, maybe it's a dance cover, maybe it's a music video, whatever it is. And you want it. Oh, how you want it. BUT THERE'S NO DOWNLOAD LINK. YOUR LIFE IS OVER --

Come back here, try this link. Use it to take an ordinary YouTube link and turn it into a handy .avi or .mp4 file! Yeah! There are other file options if you don't like .avi or .mp4.

.docx to .doc Converter

If you're anything like me, you're behind on all the new Windows stuff. Then when I work in a group and someone sends me their part of the work and it's a .docx file. I then have to bug them to re-save it in a .doc format and sometimes even have to coach them on doing so.

Suffer no more, my friends. .docx to .doc Converter. Use it.

4shared.com

Don't lie, I know you download music too. 4shared is a great site for downloading music. Whether you're looking for a single song, or a whole album, 4shared is a good place to start looking. The only downside is you have to be pretty specific in what you're looking for.

4shared does have files other than music, but I mainly use it for music.

Spanish Verb Conjugator

Taking espanol in high school? No idea how to conjugate all those verbs? I didn't have any clue either.

This online list of Spanish verbs is a great help when you have a random verb that needs conjugating. 

Cal-Driver-Ed.com

Uggggh. Driver's ed. Yet another classroom to sit down in and listen to a teacher prattle on about -- just kidding. Take that online. Give em $20 and they'll start you on their online course. You read their stuff, then you take the quiz at the end of each section.

Puzzlemaker

Did your teachers ever make you create your own puzzles? Mine did. I had to do it in 4th grade, and several times in high school. Too lazy to actually write out every single freakin letter in that damn wordsearch? I have the answer to your problems. Go to the site, make an account, and start making puzzles.

Google Voice

Looking to save some money? Have no fear, Google Voice is here. Sign up, install the app on your smartphone, and call and text away.

Listen to me, I sound like I work for Google Voice (I don't).

Sudoku Solver

Ever had one of those Sudoku puzzles you couldn't freakin solve? This site is the answer to your problems. At least, I like it.

EasyBib

EasyBib is a free website that assists in creating bibliographies in the MLA format. It can be used in any classes that have assignments that require a bibliography in the MLA format. I've used it in my english class when I had to write a short research paper, and provide a bibliography in MLA format.

Free Math Help: Factoring Calculator

Free Math Help provides an excellent factoring calculator that can be used for all math classes. I've used it when working on math homework and I come across a difficult factoring problem.

HowStuffWorks is a free site that can be used for any class. I've used the site for understanding the digestive system when we were learning about it in physiology.

This free site will mostly be used for math. I've used this site when trying to get a better understanding of last month's math section.

Microsoft Download Center



Microsoft Download Center is a free site where you can upload any Microsoft file, and make it public for classmates or group members to download.

This site can be used for any classes, really. Aside from math probably, since one normally doesn't have to create documents. I've used this site in history class when I needed to send my group members the presentation file so they could review it for the next day.

Prezi

Prezi is used as platform for bridging linear and non-linear information, and as a tool for both free-form brainstorming and structured presentation. Text, images, videos and other presentation media are placed upon the canvas, and can be grouped together in frames. Users then designate the relative size and position between all presentation objects and may pan and zoom in and between these objects. For linear presentations, users can construct a prescribed navigation path.
Prezi is a free program that can potentially be used for any classes. This is another presentation website, but it is limited to just slides. I've used it for history when I had to create a presentation on the wepaons of World War II.

Refdesk.com



Refdesk is a free and family friendly web site that indexes and reviews quality, credible, and current web-based reference resources. It is one site with links and search boxes for multiple sites including news, weather, search engines, newspapers, dictionaries, etc.

This free site I've used only a few times because honestly, I forget about it. I usually just go to Google and search for stuff there. The few times I have used it though, I used it for physiology on a homework assignment on the nervous system.


Slader

Slader is an academic community for students, by students. It is the first crowd-sourced approach to education online. Slader empowers students to shape their own educational experience.
Users view and share original answers and work for high school textbooks, join academic classes, post homework assignments, and discuss subject-specific questions with their peers and classmates on the Slader site. Slader offers an alternative to expensive tutors and costly after-school programs. It ensures that every student has access to the academic resources that secure success.
This free website has information for all classes and text books, but I've only used it for math homework. It is very helpful, and explains the process of solving problems step-by-step.

TeacherTube

TeacherTube is a video sharing website similar to, and based on, YouTube. It is designed to allow those in the educational industry, particularly teachers, to share educational resources such as video, audio, documents, photos, groups and blogs. This free site contains a mixture of classroom teaching resources and others designed to aid teacher training. It has found favor with educators for whom YouTube content is blocked by content filtering systems.

This site can be used for any class. There are many informational videos out on this site, and I've personally used it when searching for a better understanding of what we go over in Physiology.

VCASMO

If you want to put a speech on the Web so people can see it, and you have a video of it and a PowerPoint or a PDF (or a collection of JPEGs), with Vcasmo you can put the media together side-by-side. A simple timeline editor lets you define exactly when images display in your presentation. Once the presentation is all synched to your satisfaction, you can embed it on your own pages. This site could be used for any classes that require a presentation. I've personally used it for my history class when I had to create a presentation about the Manhattan Project.
