BP9_2010053_Web2.0 T3-todo.ly



What educator doesn’t have a to-do list a mile long? Who doesn’t find themselves switching between different computers, paper lists, phone apps, trying to just keep track of everything that needs to get done?

Todo.ly allows you to keep all of these important tasks online in the cloud for anywhere access. As described on the site,Todo.ly is an intuitive and easy to use online Todo list, and Task Manager. It helps you to get organized, simplify your life, and to get things done. Create todo lists, and manage them online from anywhere.


Todo.ly could be a great learning tool for older students working in groups on long-term projects. It allows you to group individual tasks into projects, so students could begin to address things like workflow and delegation.


I’ve been a list maker for a long time, and tried many different solutions. I’ve only been using Todo.ly for a few days, but it has some really nice features. First of all, having your list stored online brings a lot of convenience. There are other features though, like the ability to drag and drop tasks from one project to another that make Todo.ly really functional. You can also create filters for your tasks. This means you can easily discern tasks that are personal, work-related, family-related, etc. There’s even a pre-created category for your shopping list!


This may not work for everyone, but I think it’s definitely worth a two week trial to see if it could simplify your hectic life!

  1. Mollie,

    This is definitely a tool I will have to check out. I use many todo tools, but I get lost on what is do when. While I love Entourage, the alert's just don't cut it.

    I have many long term projects, and project tools and emails from project management, but by Tuesday of every week I have abandoned a to do list and work on the loudest one get's there work the fastest.

    It's a bad way, so this is a defined to do tool that has made it to my to do list.

  2. Mollie,

    Thanks for posting about this website. I am going to work with my students and class officers with this website and see how it works for them. I like that there is a free trial version to see if its something that is worth purchasing. I like how everything on the site is crisp and user friendly. Thanks for posting!
