Watch this for ideas:
TRELLO Boards as Subject Area or Grade Level Organizers
Example #1:
1. Create a Board for one grade level / one subject
2. Create Lists are created by category
3. Create Cards of each Standard. (Cut / paste from the Google Doc.)
Example Trello Board
Use the color coded labels to designate if the standards readiness or supporting, or are process standards.
Example #2:
1. Create a Board for one grade level / one SUBJECT / one UNIT
2. Create Lists are created by category of important information needed to teach that unit.
3. Create Cards with all the details...drop it in with your TEAM!
Example Trello Board
3rd Grade Math Instructional Unit = BOARD
Use the lists for critical information and cards to fill up with examples, lessons and ideas.
Watch this series of tutorials to learn the basics:
Both Trello and Google are Web-Based and Mobile
No need to wait until everyone can get together.
No need to email updates or attachments - it's all synced and saved
Attach any file:
Google Docs,
Computer Files

And add links from TEA.
Notifications give you the reminder that a due date is coming, or you have been assigned to a task.
Move it around - click and drag cards, click and drag lists.
Trello is very flexible. Try using a graphic as the cover at the top of the list to remember what is in that list.
