Emmanuel Katto Dubai : How Trello to streamline the assignment and submission process for homework?

[Emmanuel]

Hey everyone, I'm Emmanuel Katto from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE),

I’ve been asked to teach some English classes at my office, and I’m thinking of using Trello to make the process more interactive and manageable for everyone. The goal is to make it as user-friendly as possible, cut down on administrative work, and allow students to progress at their own pace. Here’s how I’m thinking of structuring it: Boards by Unit and Section – This seems like a good way to break down the content. I’d love to get your ideas and feedback on the following specific use cases: Assigning, Collecting, and Returning Homework – Any suggestions for setting this up on Trello? Organizing and Responding to General Questions – How could I set up a system for students to ask questions, get responses, and also archive these for future reference? Other useful functions – What else can Trello help with? For example, tracking progress, sharing resources, or collaborating on tasks? Also, I’m considering Slack integration for easier communication, but I’m unsure if it might be too complicated for some students. What do you think? Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Regards

Emmanuel Katto

@Emmanuel I would suggest taking a look at the templates here: https://trello.com/templates/education#:~:text=Teachers%20can%20set%20up%20Trello,and%20deliver%20on%20group%20projects. 

They should provide you with a number of different ideas on how you can use Trello to teach a class. Trello also has a whole section for educators.  https://trello.com/education
