Thing #6

I am truly amazed everyday by the tools available on the web.  From social networks to picture editors and from news sites to movie rental sites.  For those with access there is an endless array of information. I am pretty sure you could look for every hour in every day for a number of years and never reach the end.  Especially with new information being added constantly.  Being able to narrow down one website to talk about has been a bit difficult but one in particular caught my eye.  Remember the Milk is a task manager/ to-do list.  It basically helps organize your life.  I recently downloaded the application to my iphone and explored the site on my laptop.  I added a few tasks on my laptop and also one on my phone and both seem equally easy to use.  While it was easy to use, it could be more simple.  You have to add the task and then edit the due date and other options from there.  On the phone it all happens at the same time.  There are option on both for adding a due date, whether you want the task to repeat, the time a task is due, and you can add tags, locations and URLs, as well as sharing an item and postponing.  There is even an option to add notes to each task.  There are also different categories to add tasks to:  personal, study and work.  I think this site would definitely have a place in a classroom setting.  It could almost be used in conjunction with or instead of a planner for children with internet access.  I can say as a parent I would love for my children's teachers to use something like this so I would know when assignments are due and when they should be studying for tests.  Parents could also add tasks if a child has an appointment or has to leave school early for some reason.  I can see as a teacher using a task manager to keep track of all the ins and outs of school.  As a matter of fact I think I will use this app for my family from now on!  Check it out!  ------> http://www.rememberthemilk.com/
