Organizers

Wunderlist, Remember the Milk, Workflowy:
All the above apps used for organizing are great, but I really liked Wunderlist the best! I actually have Wunderlist on my iPhone and it is great on reminding me about things I have to do. A student can use this tool for assignments or projects that are due for school courses.  Wunderlist will send them a reminder on the due date.  They can also use it to take quick notes. I, for example, have used it to jot down websites that friends recommend to me.  I definitely see middle school and high school students using this tool for educational purposes.

Evernote:
I loved Evernote! Why didn't I know that this tool even existed! I believe it is perfect for students to use, especially when working on a research paper.  Students can keep all their resources and information they find about their research in ONE place.  Students can scan or take a snapshot of their handwritten notes and transfer them to Evernote.  They can insert the URLs of their database resources.  They can access their information through a computer, smartphone, iPod or iPad.  Best of all, they can share their information. What better to way to share all their resources, specially when working in a group.

Pinterest:
Pinterest, how I love thee!  It is amazing how far technology has come and what a perfect way to prove that with Pinterest! It is a tool that I use myself for personal needs and for my teacher needs.  I have found great ideas on teaching many concepts and skills to my 2nd and 3rd graders.  How can this tool help students? It can help them, first of all, to become very organized. I like how Pinterest lets us create boards. Then we can pin whatever we want to our boards according to the appropriate category.  Students can pin ideas on how to keep good healthy study habits, research papers, and ideas for projects.
