Trello

-

 In this post, let me talk about Trello. Trello is a tool that organizes your projects and gathers them in one wall. It's highly recommended by many teachers around the world to create a different lesson experience with students.


Why use Trello?

* It is easy to use and user-friendly.

* It works best for project managements, designing or marketing.

* You can see your works and others' in an organized way.

* Trello can be used by businesses, teachers&students and community groups for creativity and it's free.

* It is very useful ground for brainstorming and planning.

* It boasts productivity since it helps you see the cards and lists that you add before as a whole.

* It's unique cause its layout is flexible and open-ended for users to organize any task.

'Imagine a white board, filled with lists of sticky notes, with each note as a task for you and your team. Now imagine that each of those sticky notes has photos, attachments from other data sources like BitBucket or Salesforce, documents, and a place to comment and collaborate with your teammates.

Now imagine that you can take that whiteboard anywhere you go on your smartphone, and can access it from any computer through the web. That's Trello!'

This description from original website of Trello explains all, I think. 

How is it used?

* Create a board and you can add team members if you'll work collaboratively (you can also use templates)

* Create a list

* Add cards to your list

* Add labels to your cards

* Attach photos videos or files from your computer, Google Drive etc. or paste a link 


See 'Learn a Language' template above. 👆 There are many templates that suit your taste.

Social softwares have been started to be used by educators who want to experience innovative practices in their teaching by means of web 2.0 tools.

Social networks provide 'social interaction' between users so that they can work collaboratively, interact with others and create/share what they have done effortlessly.
