Journey allows you to keep a secret diary or a private journal of your life journey. Maybe you want to remember what you did on holiday, with a location and photo. Or maybe you want to just write your thoughts to get some headspace. Journey.Cloud is recommended by our Learning Support team.

Notion is like a one stop app for college life. It allows you to take and share notes, create an agenda, build a reading list, a to-do list and more. Plus, it’s free when you sign up with your college email address.
Notion for students is a free tool that lets you write, plan, collaborate and get organized in the one app. It’s designed to boost your personal productivity by reducing the amount of different apps you need to use for your work. Even if you still need to use Google Docs for college work for example, you can embed the Doc straight in to Notion to get as close to the one app lifestyle as possible.
Don’t just take my word for it, Ali Abdaal a Cambridge University medicine graduate and now junior doctor has made a useful review video that takes you through all the features of Notion as well as a few tips and tricks to get the most out of it.

Earlier this term Jon Neal (@JNealeUK) from AppsEvents visited us to deliver the Google Certified Educator Level 1 bootcamp, which helps you prepare to take Google’s exam by providing pedagogically sound ideas for the use of G Suite. Sixty teachers and support staff have attended the course so far and many have already completed the exam to become a Google Certified Educator. Everyone left with new ideas for using tools across the suite including Google Classroom, Forms, Docs, Sheets, YouTube and more!
If you’d like us to organise more training for G Suite for Education or other products then let us know by completing this form.
TED Talks are free, infuential videos from expert speakers on education, business, science, tech and creativity.
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, starting over 30 years ago as a Technology, Entertainment and Design conference with the aim to get your idea across in a short, powerful talk in 18 minutes or less. They’ve somewhat diverged from that a little in the sense that talks now cover almost all topics including science, politics and global issue to name a few, and occasionally a talk can go on a couple of minutes past the 18 minute mark.
There are now over 3100 different talks at your fingerprints, if you go here you can look through topics to find one that takes your fancy.
Maybe you want to know, ‘What’s the fastest way to alphabetize your bookshelf?’.
Or something a bit more fun, ‘My journey to yo-yo mastery’.
Or something a bit deeper, ‘What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness’.
Or even, ‘Where are all the aliens?’.
