Summary
Join me today for the second session of the Productivity Roundtable, a group of master teachers gathered together to hash out some of their toughest challenges and also to share what's working. These educators teach at different grade levels and subject areas, in different types of school settings and communities, in a diverse set of locations throughout the United States. So you're going to hear what works with a variety of teaching contexts and teaching styles.
This time around, we're talking about how to use tech to actually save time instead of letting it create more work for you. During the roundtable, we'll discuss how to keep track of and organize the teaching ideas and resources you find online, email management and digital communication, and their favorite tech tools for saving time as a teacher AND the tools they help them organize their personal lives at home. So, let's jump in.
