Keeping Organized with Google Tasks & Keep

Adapt 2021 | UNC Greensboro

Working in an all-virtual environment over the past year has come with a whole new set of obstacles to overcome. For me, one of these was keeping organized with all that was going on. In my office at UNCG it was easy to keep track of things with my elaborate system of color coded sticky notes but my home space didn't allow for this type of set-up. Looking for resolutions, I quickly turned to using Google Tasks & Keep to streamline my information by helping me to set obtainable goals, while keeping me on task, and allowing me to track pertinent information for long-term.

Are you overlooking the apps that are available to you from your Google Side Panel? If so, take a look at the resources below to learn more about Google Tasks & Keep, two of many Google apps that could help you stay organized.

This session includes a discussion of the research behind how we read online, tips for designing text to maximize student comprehension, and a look at teaching strategies for improving comprehension of digital media.

Tech Tools @ UNCG

Teaching & Scholarships Colloquium, 2018 | UNC Greensboro

The UNC Greensboro Teaching Innovations Office sponsored the Fall Teaching & Scholarship Colloquium on August 1, 2018. I had the privilege of teaming up with a co-worker to presenting some of the many tech tools that available to faculty, staff, and students at UNC Greensboro.

This session focused on how technology surround us and sometimes can be overwhelming with the many options that we have available. We felt everyone could benefit from a "cheat-sheet" detailing what tools are available, how to access them, and to show a few examples of how others using the tools.
