- What the Hello..... Workflow and team-based organizational software. Used heavily in Programming companies and team-centric work environments. Allows for work assignment and big picture views.
How We Use Trello Keep tabs on students and their ongoing projects. Allow for self directed students to claim jobs. Helpful for keeping students and teachers organized.
Finding a Routine ● Start in-progress projects immediately ● Come to Advisors when ready for new project or for finishing. ● Upperclassmen peer-editors ● Twitter & Instagram Routines
Issues ● Enthusiasm doesn’t always equal productivity & ability ● M.S. kids (mostly) < 13= Lots of supervision req’d ● Slow Turn Around Time ● Getting media off of devices (network security) ● Scheduling interviews and media ○ School Day (pull out?) ○ After School/Out of School
Looking Forward ● Now getting teacher requests for “social media coverage” of projects and extracurriculars ● Setup of teams to cover news together ● Building larger pool of “reliable alums”
