Important Tools

Email

In this virtual school world, your email is VERY IMPORTANT so you need to know how to use it.  

First things first… how often should you check your email? EVERY DAY! That’s right! You should be checking your email account every single day to make sure you don’t miss anything important.

Google Keep

This school year is different than any other we have experienced before but one thing stays the same… it is important to be organized! You need to be able to organize your notes, assignments and keep up with when things are due.

Google Keep can be used like online sticky notes to take notes or make a to do list.

Calendar

Another important part of staying organized is knowing when you are supposed to be in class, in meetings, or when assignments are due.  

Google Calendar is a way to schedule your days and assignments to help with time management
