Another organizational tool I like is Remind. It's a safe way to communicate with students and let them know of a test coming up, a special day to dress up for, or a project's due date. The website takes care of the texting so you don't have to give out your cell number to the students. iTunes Preview of Remind
Thought Boxes is the last organizational tool I'll focus on tonight... it's like a web-based to-do list that is a bit more creative. Thought Boxes article will enlighten you to the benefits of the website. I'm eager to give this tool a try as it mixes organization with a little bit of creativity. Sounds like a win-win to me!
I'm continuously amazed at how much technology offers to us if only we take the time to pursue. It's in the attitude of progress that I've made a promise to myself to be a life-long learner, be a 21st century and use technology as much as possible and meet the students where they best learn. Continuing to explore what the internet has to offer is the best way to be the life-long learner I want to be.
