So my new direction...

Is working. I think!

(note, this is for the homeschoolers mainly - the rest of you feel free to think I'm nuts!)

I got sidetracked in the middle, and actually, I have so many ways I can take this now that I'm second guessing myself.

Here is a sneak peek - I'd show you more but I have to erase some stuff off the other screen shots, and I should be typing right now.

Oh, my goal with this project. To have assignments available for the child to work from, and for me to easily see what she has done and what I need to check. I love Homeschool Tracker - but I need a portable piece. My kids don't work well from paper lists - just like I'm not a paper planner person. So for now, I'm not using HST+. Talk to me when my life is "normal" again. And, having as few pieces of paper to have to "pick up and go" is important right now. There is loads more to this whole process, but that is probably enough background for now.

Basically, I entered assignments in a free Toodledo account (I will probably upgrade to the Pro account to have subtasks - I just don't have the cash for that right now, there is also stuff you can do with alarms). From there, I can do almost anything with it... importing it into Pocket Informant is my current thinking. I own it, it syncs with it, might as well use it (I'm not a big "to do" list user normally). Toodledo has an app also, and I think she'd probably like 2Do after it syncs with Toodledo in March.

I can also export the data in a variety of formats - I can easily go back to my original thought using TapForms using a CSV export, I can get it into iCal (ha, even my lowly 10.4 version!), and basically.... do what I want with it.

Right now with the direction I'm heading - she will view the assignments in Pocket Informant, mark them complete... and I can see that in MY copy of PI because we are both syncing to Toodledo.

How cool is that?????

OK, so here is hoping that is how it works right? Now, back to work!
