Although re-entry is brutal, I&#8217;m loving it.<\/p>\n<p>One lovely aspect of being a classroom teacher at this school is that I have a half time instructional assistant. \u00a0Since her schedule has her in and out of my room all day, I needed an efficient way to communicate my tasks for her. \u00a0Thus started my search for a collaborative to do list.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, this tool would be free, integrate with Google Drive, and not be too cumbersome for our needs. It should also have a free mobile app since my assistant finds it easier to keep on top of tasks on her phone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ssedro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/monosnap-window-title-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-955\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ssedro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/monosnap-window-title-10-150x136.jpg\" alt=\"monosnap-window title-10\" width=\"150\" height=\"136\" \/><\/a>\u00a0My first try was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsheet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Smart Sheet<\/a>. \u00a0I was pretty happy with it. The Google Drive integration is smooth. Many different types of attachments are easily included with tasks. The interface worked fairly well for us.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, my school will no longer have a subscription to it. I was also not loving how wide and cluttered the interface was. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t find a way to hide completed tasks. \u00a0If I needed to do so, I was willing to pay for it, but I decide to look at other options first.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ssedro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/monosnap-window-title-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-956\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ssedro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/monosnap-window-title-9.jpg\" alt=\"monosnap-window title-9\" width=\"134\" height=\"129\" \/><\/a>Next I tried <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wunderlist.com\" target=\"_blank\">Wunderlist<\/a>. I&#8217;ve used it before, but always wandered away from it. \u00a0The same thing happened this time. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t find a way to keep the details panel open. Assigning tasks to my assistant took more clicks than I wanted. \u00a0No Google Drive integration. \u00a0I did like the clean interface and that completed tasks where hidden but accessible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ssedro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/monosnap-window-title-11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-957\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ssedro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/monosnap-window-title-11.jpg\" alt=\"monosnap-window title-11\" width=\"113\" height=\"115\" \/><\/a>I looked at a bunch of others before landing on <a href=\"http:\/\/manageitapp.com\/\">Manage It<\/a>. We&#8217;ve only been using it for a day, but so far I am loving it. \u00a0It has single sign on with Google. I can easily add links to Google Drive files. \u00a0It&#8217;s not too many clicks to add notes, due dates or assign the task to someone. \u00a0Completed tasks are hidden but accessible. \u00a0Best of all, it is free for a single project, which is all we need. \u00a0There are a bunch of notification options, and the mobile app is free. Like Smart Sheet, it could easily be used for managing large, multi-person projects, but it is also working well for the two of us.<\/p>\n<p>Do you use a collaborative to do list? \u00a0What do you use?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am joyfully back in the classroom this year.
