Plans.fm is a wonderful tool to use for organizing your social plans and make it viewable for the public. This tool can be useful in the classroom by creating a "to-do list" for your students or for them to use as a daily planner or a place where they can store all of their homework assignments.

Working with sixth grade, I notice that most of my young children to not remember where they wrote their homework or did not write it at all, or perhaps they have misplaced the sheet of paper the teacher handed to them. Planfm can eliminate the hassle of loose papers, making up stories about why homework wasn't complete. Signing up is easy and useful for children of all ages.

Just being able to search for this site was intriguing enough where it allowed me to explore all the various sites that are useful when conducting research.

Students today, (using plansfm) are equipped to learn in this fashion simply because all of their interest falls within a digital device, where cell phones and ipods are the latest trend. Just assigning homework with the use of these devices can and will engage students to be better thinkers and motivate them into doing schoolwork. Why ask/tell children to put away these devices when they can learn a great deal from them?

Plansfm is a great tool for success dealing with our young people today. In today’s society our children need to be guided with the wonderful media assets, the overwhelming problem with some parents, is that, ipods and cell phones are given to them a mere entertainment and nofile:///Users/briancross/Desktop/Screen%20shot%202010-03-14%20at%209.47.39%20PM.pngt as a learning tool.
