The Cool Tools for Schools program is flying by!
This week, I sampled two productivity tools. The first one, Dropbox, is very useful. It can be frustrating to be in one place with one technology, and not have access to a file on another. With Dropbox, you can access your files from anywhere on various devices. I don't necessarily see using this service with students, but rather for my own work, or for collaborating with teachers. If I start something at work, and want to continue later while my car is being serviced, I can drop my file in Dropbox and access it later, or have other teachers look at it and provide feedback. Handy!
Next, I tried Workflowy. This speaks to me, since I do love a to-do list! I think this would be very useful for myself, and my high school students as well. The students could keep a list of their outstanding tasks on Workflowy, and cross off or delete the items as they get done. I imagine the students listing and organizing their tasks on Workflowy--for example, read, highlight, make citations, check citations, etc. In addition to tasks, the students could add due dates. A useful place for notes to self!
