Weekly Planner
Lesson Introduction
Online learning (studying at home) can be a huge advantage because it is convenient and accessible at any time! But it can also be challenging because it requires you to manage your time effectively and avoid distractions. The focus of this activity will be to build a weekly planner which we will use to help us maintain a consistent study schedule throughout the week. In other words, on what days and during what times will you log-in to Khan Academy? When will you complete reading and writing courses?

Part 1 - Research templates
Most of our activities will involve a bit of online research. After all, searching for and learning from information on the web will be fundamental for success in the eLearn Program. So for this first activity, your task is to figure out what a "template" is, specifically when using software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. So using Google, search around with the goal of answering the following question:
What is a template and why is it useful?
You will share your findings in PART 2 of this activity.
