In earlier posts, I wrote about the challenges our school was facing as we continue to grow in size and deal with the issue of timetables and our response to this by moving towards a 7 day timetable.

Thanks to the wonderful world of twitter, I was made aware of a great free online resource the other day called minutes.io  that I thought would be a great resource for student councils to be aware of.

In reading Doug Belsaw’s blog on how he uses technology each day which led me to read Cory Doctorow’s post What I Do, I felt inspired to do the same. I’ve loved reading what other people use and enjoy looking into if they might work for me. Hopefully this post might inspire you to consider investigating some of these options or your feedback and comments might encourage me to look at alternatives. 🙂
