Stickies Makes a Great Free Organizational Tool

Stickies: Free desktop notes program

I wanted to refer a district to a software app that they could use for a high school student that needs a lot of prompts and reminders. They are looking at a laptop with some organizational supports and I thought an on-screen sticky note would be a good way to do it. The student is needing something simple and easy not too confusing.


As I looked over free programs, this one had a lot of great reviews and comments so I am checking it out. The designer says that it will never have animated dancing figures or play "Greensleeves". I like that!
