If you're anything like me, nothing gets done unless it's written on a list somewhere. Most people, especially teachers, require the use of some sort of planner to organize all the "to-do's" of our everyday lives. I came across and article on Educatorstechnology.com entitled "3 Good Calendar Tools for Teachers" and I HAD to check it out. The article gives some insight and provides links to three really great calendar tools: Assign a Day, Google Calendar, and Short Calendar.
The Assign a Day Calendar seems to be the one that's most geared toward and designed for teachers. Teachers can even post student assignments to the calendar so students can view them (to eliminate the "I didn't know it was due today" defense).
Google Calendar is really easy to use, compatible to synch with other Google applications, and is ideal for office or personal use.
The Short Calendar is deemed in the article as the simplest one of these tools to use (plus you can share your tasks in email form with others).
As a super busy wife, mom, teacher and mentor, it's really important to my productivity (not to mention my sanity) that I have tools at my disposal which will help keep me on task. I will definitely be utilizing one, if not all, of these tools at some point. If you have experience with these tools, let me know which one works the best for you and why... Thanks!!
