Whenever there is a lot to accomplish, it is easy to forget some component of a project or part of an assignment. To help combat that problem, students and teachers can use Voo2do. It can be found at http://voo2do.com/. This site allows the user to create a to do list for themselves. However, there a many more options than just typing in what needs to be done. These lists can be customized. Different items can be given different priorities and due dates. Tasks can be grouped into projects, and projects can be edited together. There is also a collaboration tab where tasks can be assigned and published. All people involved in the project will know what they are responsible for. There is also a history tab, which tells what has already been accomplished.
I think there are a variety of ways that this tool can be used in the classroom. In my classroom, I would use this tool to help my students organize themselves when they are working on projects together. They would be able to create a list of tasks that had to be completed in order to successfully complete the project. Then they would assign who would be responsible for each task. They would be able to publish the task list with the person who was assigned each task. This way each group member would know what they were in charge of and I would know what each person was responsible for. When each task was completed the group would be able to mark it off. It would then move to the history tab. This would allow me to be able to see how each group was progressing and how each individual was progressing. If there were any problems with a group or an individual, I would be able to address it early and hopefully, fix the problem. The list of tasks would also keep each team from forgetting to do a major part of the assignment. Many of my students have incredibly busy schedules. This tool would also show them another way to keep their life organized.
