    Sometime soon I'll be putting together another video about websites where you can go to learn things - sites like Khan Academy, Coursera, Udemy, etc. This video focused more on sites that provide specific tools or functionality I thought was useful.
    That being said, what are some other learning-based sites I should include in that future video?

      +Thomas Frank I think you totally should've mentioned your OWN website!!!! It is very useful for students :)

      +Thomas Frank first thing that came to mind was Harvard EdX or MIT ONLINE COURSEWARE. and the sister sites from other universities that are doing the same.

    I was glad to see few of the websites up there that I was already using. Google drive saved my life. If you don't have Microsoft word/ppt but don't want to pay for it. You can actually write your stuff of Google doc/slideshow and then select download as Microsoft doc/ppt or email as Microsoft doc/ppt. You can invite your friends to help you proofread your essays. I also used quizlet to search my classes and use different flash cards that people from my class already made.

    I'm crushing on your videos right now. I just about swooned when you mentioned where your school was! I'm a UofI student and I'm struggling so I really appreciate these videos and how you and your advice aren't out of reach for me. I'm sick and tired of the same advice I've been getting. So finding your videos is a break from my self inflicted stress and my running in circles. I really hope to implement your advice. So thank you neighbor and I'll see you around...even if it's just in my suggestions on RUclips. :)

    Studentrate.com seems great but it seems like the majority of deals is just shopping online to get cash back, which is great at first but if you buy things online you're paying extra for shipping, so you're probably losing more money. Unless they're doing a free shipping special but that happens once in a blue moon. Still great for a couple websites where I do inevitably need to make online purchases for.

It would be really helpful if you made a video on how to improve on these areas. Thank you.

    Hi Thomas, I have a question. I'm going to college next year and I was wondering what gadgets would be useful to buy. For instance, I thought an Ultrabook would come in handy, because they are light, slim have less power than a normal laptop, what could keep me away from gaming instead of studying. What are your thoughts on this subject?
