I turned to RTM when I needed to find a way for my high school daughter to track her schoolwork. She is "twice exceptional" (gifted and learning disabled), so she needs something that fits her style of working and can be used by her special ed teacher. Plus, students usually don't have internet access at school.

RTM has all the features we need to set up a great homework tracking system for my daughter! Her teacher, who is computer-phobic, loves it too. And I'm using it for my own work.

Full details are on my blog: http://aspergersparent.wordpress.com/2010/04/29/school-assignment-tracking/

but here is a summary of the features we are using right now:

- shared list so the teacher and I can add to my daughter's list
- smart list for me, so I can see my tasks without my daughter's homework confusing things

I plan on teaching everyone about tagging for each class, and I'll teach my daughter to use the location feature, too.
