Mizou: An AI Experience made for students

Trello: a productivity powerhouse for groups

  Trello.com was designed for individuals and groups who have big and small projects to complete. It helps keep everyone organized and up-to-date.  Trello is a freemium site (free and paid subscription). For most people, the free version will work for what they need. It is easy to create a free account. Then, you are prompted to create a “board” where you can put all of the lists and other links necessary to complete the task or project. You then are prompted to create List and finally Cards. The cards are the steps you or the group need to complete. There is an option to add a date due to a card of when it needs to be completed. Finally, you can add or invite others in your group via email.  There are many things you can do with Trello. To find out, watch this quick video on youtube. For a longer tutorial, watch this video.
