NOW YOU'RE READY TO GOA few tips: 1. Create an admin account and set up all new boards

and cards using that account. !2. Set aside one class period to have everyone sign up

and get added to the organization. !3. Have one or two students manage your Trello board for

the entire year to create the boards and cards and add all members to the cards. For my class, my managing editor does the main set up and the photo editor assigns the photographers once the card is created.

!4. You can do push notifications on the mobile app but be

prepared for a lot of dings when the boards and cards get created.
