Whether you're in primary school, high school, or university, there's one thing that no student can avoid for long - homework. Most students and teachers consider homework a necessary evil, something they just have to put up with, from time to time, to make sure they're keeping up. Unfortunately, homework can sometimes get in the way of other plans, so finding ways to get your work done quickly is an important priority for even the most bookish students.

The internet is one of the most comprehensive resources anywhere that can help connect you with information, find answers to your toughest questions, do research, or get extra help if you're struggling. On the internet, the possibilities are literally endless, and you can do everything from finding ideas for your next big project to checking out an online tutorial that can walk you through those tricky math problems.

You can use the internet as a start-point before you begin your homework, to help you look up more information on a topic; or give you a quick refresher before you start a tricky science project. It's also a great resource if you ever get stuck, you can quickly look up facts, check spelling, or find chapter summaries of the books you're reading in class.

Another great thing about the internet is that most of your classmates at school will be using it too. If you're working on a group project, you can use email and group chat to share documents back and forth and speak to one another about your progress; or go through any issues you're having as a group and allocate work to be done individually.

Your home phone is another excellent tool for homework. Use the telephone to call your tutor or classmate and talk through any difficulties you might be having. It's also useful if you forgot what homework has been assigned for the night or are unclear about any of the instructions.

If you're working on a group project, you can use the phone to stay in touch and discuss your progress with other group members. This also gives you an opportunity to brainstorm new ideas or vent any frustrations you're having with aspects of the assignment. If you're working with more than one or two people, try conference calling so you can all be on the line at the same time and share your ideas with one another.

Even though homework can sometimes be a pain, using phone and broadband can help make things easier and connect you with the information you need so you can shut the books and move on to more exciting things.
