Facebook has long been the foe of productivity. That was until now. The Study Mode application lets you switch your Facebook account into “study mode,” a setting that connects you with other students on the social networking site working on the same set of problems as you. With video chat capabilities and a math symbol-friendly interface, this application is a great way to get a study group together, regardless of its members’ locations. To get the Facebook application, go to hoot.me and sign up for the appropriate type of account – either student or teacher. The app connects to your Facebook account and then students can start searching for subject material.
