This includes some tools that may be useful when planning and working on projects. Many of these coincide nicely with the things we have been learning about in class.

I like this - very helpful. I'm visual, so the graphics help. Thanks for sharing!

Ooooh. I'm definitely checking out OpenProj. That's my kind of organization.

From their website: "Free, simple, fast online meetings. Share your screen instantly with anyone." I couldn't say it better myself. Join Me is a pretty great tool if you have meetings with remote members of project teams. The premium version has all of the features of WebEx and then some, and you can get a 30 day trial of the premium version for free. Even the free version that is available after the 30 day trial is useful. No one has to download anything or have a program installed except for the moderator (and it is a very simple download). The moderator gives everyone a code, they go to a website and type it in and can immediately share screens. My advice: Use Microsoft Paint to enhance your Join Me meetings by using it like the WebEx whiteboard.

Andi, thanks for sharing, sounds like a cool alternative to expensive or complicated ways to create an online meeting. I will try it for a couple of online interviews I need to conduct.

This is a free version of Microsoft Project. It does require you to download it to your computer

I can't hardly believe this is free! What is the world (Microsoft) coming to? Anyway, I downloaded this for my home computer, thanks!

Thanks, Laura. A friend was recently asking me if I knew of a free PM tool like MS Project. This should be perfect.

Free templates for all stages of Project Management. Great simple explanations of terminology and descriptions of what should go in each section of templates that are available. Not only are there documents you would expect such as Project Initiation Documents and Work Breakdown Schedule documents, but also Project Meeting Agenda and Minute templates. When you don't know where to start with compiling PM documents, this site offers some easy to use options.

Great resource! I appreciated that not only templates were included, but also lots of related information about "why and how would I use this."

Giselle, this is a great find! I can't believe these templates are free.

A blog outlining the top 10 free online project management software, because we can't all buy MS Project. This blog provides a brief overview of each software as well as links to the full site.

I'ts great to have all of these in one place. It allows you to compare them together. Two I have looked at for use in Education are ZOHO and Huddle.

Great add Brook! I came across this article when I was searching for a PM tool for our office. I've tried Basecamp before and I like how intuitive it is. Have you tried any of the other ones?

Nothing beats free and easy. For small projects or projects that require immediate collaboration, GD is the way to go. It has plenty of limits, but most people know GD and it's limitations.

I thought this site might be helpful for anyone looking to add a quiz to their Wiki page. MyQuizCreator offers free quizzes for you to create for your website, wiki, blog, and more! This is a very basic quiz creation tool (multiple choice/true false only) but it's free and you can send it to your learners via link or embed it in your wiki or other webpage. Here is a sample quiz I created: http://myquizcreator.com/take/6917 For better navigation (having the results pop up in a separate window when the user hits "submit"), add target="_blank" to the second line of html. For example: Before: After:

I subscribed to this podcast (it has a free option) I liked because it is short (each episode is around 30 min long) and gets directly to the point, so it helps me to understand better some concepts we discuss in our class. I listened to the interview in the Episode 266: PMO and Capitalizing on Diversity (Free) This one gave me a perspective about how to integrate diversity in PM. The other episode I listened was Episode 261: How to Identify Project Stakeholders (Free) , so I learned a little more about this confusing topic for me. I also enjoyed the British accent; I finally can catch what they are saying! I think my English skills are improving: double check!

If you want a way to make the most beautiful Gantt charts you've ever seen... use Smart sheet. It's not free, but there is a free trial. I wanted to make a one page Gantt chart, that was vertical rather than horizontal, and I didn't want to pay money or download open project, and smart sheet came to the rescue. It does have more features, like assigning tasks to your team members... but I really only used it to make the Gantt chart of my dreams.
