Time Management
A system that makes grading homework’s faster may take some time, but in the end will serve as a priceless tool in time management. Making answer keys and bubble sheets takes some time but in the end saves me endless hours of grading. Another tool that has proved to be priceless is investigating the CD ROMs that come with the text books for assignments that are self grading.
I concur, all resources available today not only help manage our time more effectively, but also they make the entire learning and teaching process much smoother.
I must agree that using scantrons and or bubble sheets are times savers. As they allow you to spend more time teaching rather than grading papers. This is a very useful tool and excellent time saver. Also I must add that I teach time management skills to my student's. Working smarter and not harder is the key.
Steven, So true! It's amazing how many resources today's publishers offer. They are motivated to produce them because they want us to continue to use their textbooks and other class materials.

Today's textbook publishers are doing an outstanding job of providing rich and robust content. I am always looking through publisher resources when organizing a class. Their materials can definitely save time by providing pre-built tests and quizzes, videos and so on.
The online teachers resources have prove to be a valuable tool (if applicable). A lot of them have test banks with the answer key.
If you set up quizzes and exams on line that once the testing is given and you have testing set up to correct the test on line it will save you more time to work on other assignments.
You have to take a closer look at your schedule and see what needs to be done right away compare to later that day or week in order to manage your time priotizing is the key to helping you find time to do other things.
