We’ve all been there: staring down a pile of vocabulary words or math problems with the enthusiasm of a cat being asked to take a bath. But studying doesn’t have to that bad. With the right tools your students might actually say, “Can we do that again?” And no, they’re not being sarcastic. Probably.

So here it is—the ultimate, teacher-approved list of the best online study tools, including a few of our own favorites from Wola.Study, where studying meets low-key chaos (in the best way).

🛠️ The Wola.Study Toolbox: Because Learning Should Be a Little Weird

🎰 Slot Machine Conjugation Game

Grammar? Spelling? Random trivia? Our slot machine game turns your study content into a literal jackpot. Customize the reels with whatever you’re teaching, and watch students pull their way to proficiency. Las Vegas, but educational. And legal.

🎡 Random Wheel Chooser

Can’t decide who goes first? Need to pick a topic without inciting mutiny? Spin the wheel! It’s dramatic, it’s democratic, and it gets your class focused faster than a pop quiz.

🧠 Flash Cards (That Don’t Judge You)

Yes, we’ve got flashcards—classic, effective, but with zero judgment if you blank on the same card for the third time. They’re smart, simple, and customizable for any subject.

👾 Brain Board Game

It’s a problem-solving challenge! You get the answer first, and then have to find everything that fits. But seriously, getting the answer key first? I would've consumed a lot less caffeine this way!

MVPs From Around the Web

Because we’re generous like that, here are some other study tools that deserve a gold star:

1. Quizlet

Flashcards, games, and study sets on basically every topic under the sun. Your students already know it, but it’s popular for a reason.

2. Blooket

It’s like Kahoot and Pokémon had a baby. A classroom game platform where quizzes come wrapped in chaos and pixelated creatures. Kids love it. Teachers love it. Admins don’t ask too many questions.

3. Khan Academy

Sal Khan, bless his patient heart, can explain polynomial factoring with more clarity than any human should. Videos, practice questions, and mastery-based progress. Basically your free co-teacher.

4. Gimkit

Made by a student who was tired of boring review games, Gimkit is slick, strategic, and just the right amount of competitive. Bonus: Students earn virtual money for correct answers and spend it on power-ups. It’s academic capitalism.

5. Padlet

Digital bulletin boards that let students post text, images, or GIFs. Great for collaboration, brainstorming, or just pretending you have the most organized class in the district.

6. Knowt

Upload your notes, and it generates practice quizzes automatically. Perfect for sneaky assessments or letting students feel like AI is doing the hard work (spoiler: it kinda is).

7. Bookwidgets

Interactive wonderland + LMS integration + auto-grading + accessibility = Happiness.

🎯 Final Word

You’ve got tools that turn studying into spinning, flashing, competing, collaborating—and yes, sometimes even audio-cheering-from-your-teacher. Whether you're spinning a wheel, flipping some cards, or building a crossword, these tools make learning feel less school and more fun.

Wola is about improvement. We're working on adding more applets soon. If you want to chat about adding custom games or a secret Wola study tool, contact us! ---And don't worry, we take learning seriously, but everything else…not so much.
