Thing 12

My Calendar :) The calendar was very simple to make- just select the day and times you are making a task for and then type in your agenda for that time. The only thing I really did not like was the fact that it was only in 30 minute intervals. So for a time when I had a class from 11:10 to 12:35 I was unable to put exactly what my time slot was. No a huge deal, but still a problem. This would be great for a teacher to have pulled up on his or her computer at all times.. you can easily see what you have a slot open for, like a parent teacher conference or IEP meeting. It highlights the time you have used already so it makes it very easy to tell what time you have available. I also REALLY like the fact you can make this public so your family, friends, students, parents, etc.. can see exactly what is going on and when things are due, going to happen, or coming up! Really think I will be using the calendar in the future.

my alerts! alerts! alerts!
I also set up an google alert that will send me an email everyday for one of blogs (day in Washington) this way any new laws or news about Special Education, I can be sure to receive. This is a great tool for those teachers (like myself) that forget to check their blogs and miss out on important information. I am more likely to check my emails as opposed to several different blog sites.
