What it is: <\/strong>Pegby <\/a>is a neat online organizational tool that has fantastic customization features.\u00a0 With Pegby,<\/a> students (and teachers) can share boards enabling them to collaborate with friends, family, coworkers and classmates.\u00a0 Pegby<\/a> is organized by a series of columns, students can decide on the number and organization of columns.\u00a0 Columns can be easily expanded and collapsed so students can focus on exactly the columns they need at any given moment.\u00a0 Students (and teachers) can add cards to each column.\u00a0 The cards look just like a 3×5 note card and can include a title, content, tags, attachments, a due date and color coding.\u00a0 Note cards can be dragged from one column to the next, shared with others or added to a stack of cards.\u00a0 Students can filter all of their cards by tags to find exactly the cards they are looking for when they need them!\u00a0 Pegby <\/a>lets you have multiple boards so you can organize life to your heart’s content.\u00a0 A Pegby <\/a>board can be downloaded as a .yaml file (not familiar with that file extension, it is a unix executable file.)<\/p>\n

How to integrate Pegby<\/a> into the classroom:<\/strong> Pegby<\/a> is one of those tools that I get totally geeked out about.\u00a0 I love the 3×5 note card look, the columns, the tagging, the associated calendar dates.\u00a0 A recipe for edu-love I tell ya!\u00a0 Pegby<\/a> is a great tool for organizing your teacher self this year.\u00a0 Add ideas for the school year, tasks, lesson plans, to-do items, etc. to your board as cards.\u00a0 Create columns that make sense to you and organize to your heart’s content!\u00a0 Want one better?\u00a0 Share your board with colleagues so that you are all on the same page and can share lessons\/resources\/task responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Older students can keep their school year organized by adding assignments, tasks, uploading work, taking\/keeping notes and sharing their board with Pegby<\/a>.\u00a0 As students work on and complete tasks, they can move items from one column to the next.\u00a0 Those unit tests won’t be a problem because they can tag pertinent information and easily study and review tagged information.<\/p>\n

Pegby<\/a> would also be a great tool for organizing research projects (even collaborative research projects).\u00a0 Students can decide how they want to organize their research and notes, tag information and attach documents.\u00a0 All of the research is in one place and tagged for easy reference when it comes time to compile the research.\u00a0 Pegby could be a useful tool for students attending college classes online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Does your school use standards to keep track of learning?\u00a0 Why not create columns of Standards headings, and associate each standard with a note card?\u00a0 Students can upload any files or work associated with the standard.\u00a0 OR instead of making each column a standard heading, columns can be associated with mastery level of the standard.\u00a0 As a student moves through levels of mastery, they can move that standard card from one column to the next making stacks out of the standard subject.\u00a0 Students can keep track of their own learning, share their “Standards” board with teachers and parents.<\/p>\n

Is your class collaborating with other classrooms? Create a collaboration board where all involved classes can organize a project together.<\/p>\n

For younger students, create a class Pegby<\/a> that can be accessed on an interactive whiteboard or projector-connected computer.\u00a0 The Pegb<\/a>y can be added to and organized as a whole class.\u00a0 Make Pegby<\/a> updater one of your classroom jobs that happens first thing every morning.\u00a0 Each student will have the chance to be in control of the board throughout the year and all students will benefit from observing and helping organize the day.\u00a0 (Something we don’t model enough for kids in my humble opinion!)<\/p>\n

Tips:<\/strong> Pegby does require a verified email account for access!<\/p>\n
