Ta Da Lists

I am a lists person. I think I probably always have been. It keeps me on track. I have a books to read list, a summer projects list, a grocery list, a things to plant in the garden list, etc. The lists help me to keep focused on the task at hand and helps me to get right back to where I left off if I get interrupted. Yesterday my husband had a list of things at home that he needed to get at the store after work to take with turkey hunting (he was in charge of the snacks). When I was getting ready to leave I noticed his list still sitting on the arm of the couch. If he has used a service like Ta Da Lists, he would have been able to still access his list from work or any other place (like his cell phone). Instead I had to email it to him when I got to work.
In the fall of the year we pass out assignment notebooks to the students. Many of them use them, but just as many do not. Students are more technology efficient than we as adults tend to be. Students could use a service like www.tadalist.com for keeping track of up to 10 lists for free. What could be better than free? Lists can be accessed from any device that has Internet access. This would be good for students who don't like to keep track of the paper version.
