Teacher, what is the difference between an "Action Item" and a "Task"? I heard it in a meeting in Siem Reap.

Hi Ratanak! They are very similar. A "task" is just general work you need to do. An "Action Item" is specifically a task that was decided upon *during* a meeting, usually assigned to a specific person with a deadline. Hope that helps! bar_chart
