Study Rails

In an age where online distractions like Facebook and AIM are everywhere, a way to stay focused while studying is becoming ever more necessary. For a school or family that is serious about keeping their student(s) on task while studying, Study Rails might be the answer.

Study Rails is an online study aid that will help students organize their activities and assignments, avoid procrastination, and avoid online distractions. When ADD is being diagnosed almost as commonly as a cold, methods to keep students focused are at a premium. While Study Rails may not be the holy grail, it seems as though it is a useful tool that will help a student focus on his/her work become more organized and avoid unnecessary distractions. I have not played around with this tool but as my school moves towards a 1 to 1 laptop program, applications like have a great deal of potential.

There is a 14 day trial period and pricing can be as little as $7 per student per year for institutions. If you are interested, check out the demonstration video about Study Rails.
