Coffitivity

Coffitivity recreates the ambient sounds of a cafe to boost your creativity and help you work better. According to a peer-reviewed study out of the University of Chicago, “A moderate level of ambient noise is conducive to creative cognition.” In a nutshell, this means being a tiny bit distracted helps you be more creative. Therefore, those AHA moments happen when we’re brushing our teeth, taking a shower, or mowing the lawn! If we’re not focused too much at a task at hand, we come up with awesome stuff. In the coffee shop, the chatter and clatter distract us a tiny bit and allows our creative juices to start flowing. It sounds crazy, but it works!

Google Scholar

Google scholar is a powerful search engine to search for the articles by specific author or Journal title, predominantly helpful if you are searching for the articles for literature. The impact of google in education need no elaboration. Therefore, it is a must in our list.
