13 of the Best Apps for High School Students

Spread the love

At last count, there were over 80,000 educational apps available to teachers. There are apps for everything: literacy, STEM, productivity, audiovisual, etc. There are apps which improve accessibility for students with different learning challenges, i.e. text to voice, voice to text, etc.

While many of these may be a dream come true for educators, the dizzying array of choices is also a nightmare. Teachers just don’t have time to filter through thousands of apps to find the one that works best for the needs of their students. To help, we started to create curated lists of the best apps in a variety of education related categories. In this installment, we will present the best apps for high school students.

  1. uVocab Vocabulary Trainer

For those preparing for the SAT or other standardized tests, this vocabulary app is a smart choice because it includes over 4500 test words and realistic test questions. Students can also keep track of their progress.

  1. Zygote Body

Create and explore spectacular 3-D human body visuals.

  1. A.D.A.M. Interactive Anatomy

Search images of the human body with this powerful, customizable anatomy curriculum.

  1. Brainscape

Mobile learning solution that is based on neuroscience.

  1. Haiku Deck

Another user-friendly tool is Haiku Deck. Haiku Deck includes thousands of templates that teachers and students can build from to create slides with fonts that coincide and color schemes that correlate. It’s almost impossible not to create something beautiful, neat and aesthetically pleasing. If you’re in need of charts but don’t have time to master Excel, Haiku Deck lets you pick from templates of different charts and customize them to mirror your own data. 

  1. SAT Up

For students preparing for the SAT, a test prep app is essential. This particular app works well because it not only includes practice materials, it also performs a diagnosis showing students which areas they need to work on first. 

  1. Studious

This is an excellent time management app for high schoolers. It helps organize their classes, homework, and exam schedules. It will send students homework reminders and upcoming exam alerts. 

  1. Finger CAD

Students can use their fingers for technical drawing with a computer (computer-aided design). This app provides students with the opportunity to design anything they would using computer CAD operations such as floor plans, bridges, and more.

  1. Fit Brains Trainer

This award-winning app trains your brain in a variety of ways through a variety of games and challenges. Designed by neuroscientists, Fit Brains Trainer stimulates the mind while providing a fun experience. It claims to be the only training program that trains your cognitive skills including memory, attention, speed, and emotional intelligence.

  1. Engineering Unit Converter App

The Engineering Unit Converter is an excellent app that allows students to make conversions and engineering calculations easily. Students simply select the category and input their units. Then, the app will complete the conversion.

  1. Personal Zen

This app is clinically proven to reduce stress and anxiety by playing a game. Through retraining your brain to think more positively, the reduction of anxiety and stress allows you to focus more on the events and experiences around you. Thus, it stands to reason that you can register experiences and encode the information more firmly for retrieval at a later date.

  1. Prezi

Prezi is a free tool that takes PowerPoints to the next level. If you’re in a rush, you can import previously created PowerPoints into Prezi and watch as your once plain presentation gets new movement and flare. Otherwise, Prezi lets you create a unique presentation from scratch. Zoom in on images, zoom out to reveal larger backgrounds for dramatic effect, easily incorporate audio components, and choose from endless themes. If you’re struggling for inspiration, Prezi offers suggestions and interesting tools that help boost even the most boring series of slides.

  1. The Interactive Grammar of English

The app is progressive, spanning concepts from basic level understanding to complex, collegiate-level pieces of writing.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
