When I first heard about mySchoolog (read as my school log) I was very excited about the potential uses of this currently free virtual backpack for elementary and secondary school students with and without disabilities.
mySchoolog describes itself as "an online web-based application with which students can organize their school life easily."
It is an all-in-one system that provides the ability to enter class notes, attach files like pictures and charts, develop to-do lists, and keep a schedule. The main bonus is that these areas can be linked. You can enter notes and link it to a scheduled class, assign a few to-do's (like homework), and then attach the related files.
The to do list and schedule can even be linked to an alert system that will send reminders to your email or phone (by SMS).
The idea behind mySchoolog is promising and the feature set is a great start. Unfortunately the linking system and even each feature themselves is not very user friendly and somewhat counterintuitive. The good news is that mySchoolog appears to be a work in progress. Hopefully they will work the kinks out and make this great idea a bit more user friendly. I would love to see the linking and input process become a mindless task. If they can sort this out, mySchoolog could be an amazing tool for students with difficulties with organization and time management (executive functioning deficits, etc.).
