If you've been taking a break from your online classes, it's about time to get ready for the new semester. Register for your classes, update your computer hardware / software, and organize your home office.

Make sure to take a look at some of the nifty new online tools available for students. Mashable's new list of back to school tools can help. Here's how they describe it:

"This list comprises everything from financial aid to local guides, social networking, web-based applications and much more for the student with no time to waste in getting the most out of their education."

While I don't think every tool on the list will be helpful to every student, you'll probably find something that will come in handy during your next semester of online classes. Check it out here: 60+ Tools for Back to School.
