E. Paredez's 23 Things: Thing #6 - Discovering Web 2.0 Tools

What did you like or dislike about the tool?

I chose the source "Remember the Milk." What a fun and creative feature to have! I really liked this site because myself, of all people, tend to forget things on the regular, so a site like this one can help me stay organized. I really the fact that you can download the app onto your phone and it will pick up any reminders that you had put while you were on the computer. No matter where you are, it will tie in all your reminders that you had made. I really like how easy it is to use also. I actually downloaded this app onto my phone and I have already used it almost everyday. Given that I always have my phone, it's a lot easier now not needing a notepad and pen if I need to make a quick note.

What were the site's useful features?

You can sign up very easily without any hassles and best of all, it's free! The site also has services that show you how to transfer your reminders on other personal items such as your phone or ipad. I also liked the fact that there was a "blog" that helped communicate how people were using the app, or any new features that they may have found that made using the app that much more easier.

Could you see any applications for its use in a school or library setting?

I think this could be very handy for students to use within the classroom. They would be able to use it as a tool to help remind them of any important dates that would be coming up. Or even, when their homework, reports or library books are due. This would be great because they could add or monitor this website at school, and would still be able to see it at home if they had access to a computer. This would also be great for the librarian too, because they could actually send reminders to the students that had this program, that their library books are due back soon! The same could work with the teacher too with communicating to his/her students when they are away from the classroom.
