The two tools I found too be most useful in both my personal life and with education were the google alerts and google calendar. For education I would generally use the alerts if I were working on a research project or to follow any pertinent issues they may arise in education. For this assignment, I created an alert for Apple just because I need to keep up on the latest buzz whether it comes from the company or is just rumors and I chose weekly because anything urgent will come to me from Apple anyway.
Your Google Alert request [ apple ] has been created.
I know a lot of people who utilize google calendars. I have never looked at this tool before and you know what it is pretty simple and straight forward. In less than five minutes I had set up a calendar and sent a test invite to Dr. Luck and made a new Family calendar and added my husband so that he and I both can manage one another and children appointments and family life. Or for those who are not as tech savvy you can simply print your calendar up and hang it on the refrigerator or on your desk in your office so you still have a copy and are up to date. The only downside is any changes you make you have to update them on the hard copies that you have printed out. This tool was desperately needed and maybe my husband will like it as much as I do; and it could help us get a little more organized. I am not making my calendars public for now. I do find it handy that I can create a calendar for professional use. Each calendar is color coded. I could easily create a public calendar for the parents in my class and my colleagues so that we can share information and/or know what each others plans are for the semester or school year.
