Time Management
The use of computer programs and internet for research are optimal ways of saving time.
I think that's the key, Jennifer. The idea in leveraging technology is to save time and make tasks easier. Too often I see people get caught up in using technology that just adds to their workload -- for the sake of using it. It sounds like you're using Gradekeeper as a valuable tool that frees you up for other tasks or some time off to decompress.
I use a program called "Gradekeeper" and it has been my life saver. It is easy to use and it a huge timesaver at the end of the term
best way to find as much information on a subject in a limited amount of time.
Glad you are willing to give something new a try Rebecca. Sometimes experimenting with time management tools takes a little investment. It's easy to get discouraged and go back to our old routine. But initial investments such as the one you made really can pay off. I hope it does for you!
I am trying out the grading on our portal for the first time and so far i like it. It is forcing me to put in my grades in a more timely fashion it is also good for my students. they can see the grades and ask questions regarding assignments
Using a calender to post upcoming assignments is another way in which time can be optimized. I recommend getting a large calendar with room to list multiple tasks that are due on specific days. The tasks should be prioritized from most important to least important.
It's true and I completely agree Carl. The learning part can be an investment, but it's wonderful in the end when your time-saving techniques pay off.
It's worth the time to learn computerized tools in the name of efficiency and accuracy if nothing else. Enhanced systems seem to be available for so many tasks that lead to improved time management.
Time management is the key to lowering stress for me
I find that now that i have to place my grades on line, it helps me meet my deadlines earlier.
Hi Alphia,
I 100% agree with you. Without the use of technology today...it's almost hard to imagine. It helps so much, because of all of the tasks we have per day, and there is only so much time. It helps to manage my stress.

I totally agree, without the use of technology today we would be left with a lot to do, becaue we all have so many task to complete in one day the computer and internet make our professional and personal lives easier. The stress level is still there but managable.
