The last tool that I chose to write about this week doesn’t really have any educational value, it is just one of those things that makes a teachers busy, busy lives a little easier. Tadalist.com is a very simple website with a very simple tool that generates lists for both interactive computer usage, or simply to print out as a handout. This site is nothing fancy, but I know I will be using it from now. Registration to the site is free and takes less than a minute. Once you register and log in you can begin making lists and saving them to the website. Once your list is complete you have a few options to choose from. The first thing you can choose to do is print the list just as it is. If you would prefer to have it saved somewhere other than on the site you can have it emailed to yourself. Or you can allow the site to save it and access it through logging in. If you decide on the last option, tadalist.com will categorize you things in to things that are done, and things that are not done. To change from what list or another simply check that an item on your list has been completed. This is a great tool for teachers and students. Teachers can generate lists for themselves or for students to keep for assignments. I would love to use this with students in an electronic form for assignments. I think it would be great if each student could have his or her own account. Each account would have a list of assignments for a grading period. Once a student has submitted their assignment they can log on and click that it has been completed, much like we do on FSO. I think this would be a great way to help students and teachers stay organized.
