Playing around with Notion

Tweet

As I am letting my eldest work on online lessons and assignments more often now, I have been looking for ways to organize and follow up his work. I thought Bublup is a good fit when I found it last year, but it isn't. The notetaking app I am always using is Evernote, it doesn't really work well for this purpose as well. Finally, I went back to try out Notion, which I have tried it two or three years ago but found it too slow. I spent time playing around with Notion these two months. Finally, I got our homeschool dashboard set up. I can add the lessons or assignments to the dashboard, and my eldest can easily see what he has to work on. I like that we can set the status of the work, and then we know clearly what we have done or have not done. It's easy for us to follow up with this system. It's also easier for me to assign the same work for my younger kids in future too. I also set up a learning dashboard for myself where I want to keep all the resources I like there. I always lost track of the resources I already have. Hope this will help me to get more organized, and perhaps my kids might find it useful in future as well. Do you use any app to take notes? What notetaking app are you using? Picture: The kanban board I created for my eldest
