WEBSITES AND APPS FOR STUDENTS

Websites:

  • Clever- Sign into Clever to sign in to all your school logins!  Google, Destiny, Schoology to just name a few examples.  One login and done.

  • Quizlet- A convenient way to find, create, and review digital flashcards, which have all the advantages and disadvantages of paper flashcards. There is also an app available but it is not as user friendly as the website.

  • Learning Express Library- A database available to residents of SC through DISCUS.  Use this website for test prep (ASVAB, SAT, ACT, AP courses) as well as for many school subjects (Science, Math, English, Social Studies).  Spanish materials and test prep is available as well.   Create a free account and get started today!  Make sure you always enter LEL through Discus, because googling LEL will not bring you to the correct sign in page.
