Create 1.1.1 Time Management Quest
List five time management tools in your blog and briefly describe their use and relevance to the online world. Does the tool relate to personal, professional, or a combination of both?
- The clock on the wall - this one is really old school but as a teacher of 34 years with bells that go off all the time it becomes second nature. When working on a task I usually think about how many hours I want to work today and then move on to something else. This is professional and personal.
- Reminders on my phone - I have a few set up that are shared with other people so the group can put in reminders for the rest. I use Remind (Formally remind101) with my students so that they can manage their time.
- A calendar that pops up for things due and meetings. I have it synched to my phone and various computers that I tend to log on during the day. These calendar meetings can be individual or group meetings. For group meetings anyone in the group can change the time or place and it sends out a message to the whole group. I can also set a alarm to go off so that I can ready myself for the meeting in a timely manner.
- A routine - get to work a certain time in the morning and check my calendar and emails first. I think about what my day looks like and then I know when to move to the next task meeting. Often I will create a quick Post-it note with a list of major topics for each class. This helps me as students are walking in so I can jump right into the lesson.
- LMS system for my students. I keep a detailed Mon- Fri list every week that includes all the resources needed for that day. It is also a convenient goto for my students. They always know where to start their day in my class.
