Google Calendar

This weeks class was really beneficial for me! Kevin's Tool Time for Google Calendar might just change my professional life! As a choral teacher there are tons of important dates for my students to remember.  In September I would create a word document listing important dates to remember and I would post it on my e-board.  This document would be such a pain to have to change if I needed to change a date or cancel an event.  Now I can just post my google calendar on my e-board and it takes literally seconds to change if need be.  This is also going to be VERY useful and convenient when I schedule rehearsals for the spring musical.

Knol and other fun stuff

As I said in my A-ha moment last night, I feel like it's the same every week.  Every week I learn about yet another great tool to help make my life just a bit easier and more interesting.  This week Kathy did her tooltime on Knol.  Looking over her worksheet that went with it I thought to myself...WOW this would be a great tool to use to make flyers and handouts for the mountains of information that I have to send home to my parents concerning, concerts, fundraising, t-shirts, etc.

As I'm learning about these tools that I've never heard of before and realizing that there is a plethora of useful information on the web I'm beginning to feel a sense of accomplishment...and I like the way it feels! :-)
