Looking at the list of the Web 2.0 Awards nominees, I realize I spend way too much time online because I am an active member of at least one site from each of the topics listed... :) So I picked a site that I have not used.
I picked Remember The Milk, mainly because the cute little cow displayed caught my attention. (Rememberthemilk.com) (http://www.cnet.com/html/ww/100/2009/winners.html) is the site I used to find this website.
Remember the Milk is a free website (unless you want to go pro, and then it is no longer free) that is a portable goal setter. You can create lists, such as to-do lists and study lists and access them from pretty much anywhere, without having to return to the website. Since I am one of the most unorganized, forgetful people in the world, I thought that this website would be a huge help. Being able to access the list from anywhere is helpful so even if I am at Walmart, I can remember why I am there. :)
You could use this in the classroom by having the students set goals, whether they are short term or long term. They can be study goals, homework goals, whatever the students want. Being able to access this from anywhere will help them in remembering and accomplishing their goals so they will have no excuse when they come into the class the next day. :)
