Thoughtboxes is a site I just learned about from the great blog, Educational Technology Guy. This is a site designed to organize your "thoughts". It kind of reminds me of a cross between Pindax and Wall Wisher w/ some Corkboard Me sprinkled on top, in that it creates a box that acts as a "sticky".
I recommend giving Thoughtboxes a try by clicking here.
When I read about Thoughtboxes I instantly thought of a few students in my school that would benefit greatly from this organizational tool. I liked the feature that allows you to cross off tasks that have been completed. It seems like a great way to help students divide up their life into categories and see how much time is invested into each one and to see how much they accomplish in a day. Many students struggle with understanding when specific tasks occur during the school day (such as what day do we have music, or are library books due today?) It would be helpful to have students create a Thoughtbox for various days of the week to help keep themselves organized. I’m also thinking it might help students break up a project into sections and allow them to organize their ideas better.
