Thing #6: Web 2.0

Trello is an online organizational tool that tracks the progress of a project among group members.  This free tool details the brainstorming process, tasks and responsibilities, deadlines, items currently in progress, and tasks completed.


I like the idea board component and how this tool could be easily utilized in a classroom for students to use within group projects.  A student could look back and see their evolution of thought and project creation while effectively managing group tasks and deadlines. Furthermore, if I were co-teaching, or had an educational assistant we could use this tool collaboratively to manage our tasks and ideas within our classroom.  Trello also has an app interface for mobile device access.  If a student were using this website for a Chemistry project, they'd then have that information on their phone also- essentially serving as an app for their classroom assignment!
