Wolfram Alpha (4/5): Wolfram Alpha is an good tool to use when looking for quick facts. Unlike other search engines where they give multiple suggestions of what you are searching for, Wolfram Alpha leads you directly to multiple quick facts. Students can use this tool to get general information on different subjects. In a science class students can use this to get quick information about different elements, compounds, or any other topic they are learning at that point.
For instance, I typed in Carbon 13 and the search result came out like this. It gave all the basic information that students can use and expand their ideas on.
I also use this tool whenever I do not have a calculator on hand. All a person has to do is type in an equation and the result pops up. This tool is very useful. Definitely will be using it more often.
