Study Smarter with Study Blue

It is almost impossible to walk through a public place without seeing someone absorbed by whatever is on their device. Video games, texting, Facebook, and YouTube are capturing more and more attention through the link to the internet they carry around in their pocket. Imagine if only there was a way to put some of this time to good use...

Study Blue is one of those tools that can be used to put some of this time kids are attached to their devices to good use!
