9. Wikipedia
The Wikipedia app is a wellspring of knowledge on virtually every subject from academics to
pop culture. Instead of lugging around multiple heavy volumes of the encyclopedia, you can
now access millions of articles at your fingertips. Anyone can edit articles in Wikipedia, most
teachers do not consider it a reliable source of information for essays and other
assignments.
10. YouTube
YouTube is more than just the only place in the world where you can watch videos. Type the
words ―how to‖ into the app’s search bar and you’ll find everything from how to get started in
a healthcare career to how to tie a bowtie.
Like Wikipedia, anyone can upload a video to YouTube, so be aware that some learning
videos. Better to look for one that’s made or has been posted by an expert with real-world
experience in the subject you’re interested in.
