Kanban boards are amazing for the classroom. It is a visual system to check work progress. I use it with projects, and also at the end of each cycle. I helps the students visualize all the work they have to turn in, and the also it helps them get organized.
I listed all the assignments in the Kanban. I created a copy for each student in my LMS. Students had to grab each sticky note and drag it to the right column depending on where they are in the process.
