I decided to try out the Monkey on Your Back for my third emerging technology. I was not sure how this was going to work for me or whether or not I would like it; however the more I used it, the more I realized it would actually help. Monkey on Your Back is a website that allows you to create an account. Within your account you can send reminders to friends or family through email about things you want them to do or even upcoming events. I thought that this was really neat because as you approach the deadline for the event or task, this website will send a reminder to that person. With school, work, family and friends, I have a hard time trying to remember what to do and when. It is bad enough keeping track of my own life let alone reminding others of what I need them to do. This website is going to make it easier for me to communicate to family members and friends as well as keep track of my hectic life. I am really excited that I was introduced to this website because as a teacher I am going to constantly have things going on. With Monkey on Your Back, I can send reminders to my students' parents about upcoming events! Plus, it will save on paper. The only thing I do not like about Monkey on Your Back is that due to the fact that I simply signed up for the free trial, I was only able to set up 5 tasks. If I was going to use this in the future, I would have to purchase an account so that I could email more than just 5 of my classroom parents.
Here is the link to my accont. As you can see there are seperate tabs across the top of the webpage. The first one allows you to send a new task, the second shows you the tasks you have sent and the third shows you the tasks you are in charge of. Take a look, it's easy and I think you will all really enjoy the help!

ReplyDeleteHey! As you know, I used this site too. I agree, it could get annoying bc it keeps sending a reminder... but maybe that will help get it done faster! =) I guess I didnt realize you could only do 5 tasks then have to pay... ugh! Great description! Nice job Courtney!
