This could be a great asset! I would embed videos that can teach or reteach lessons. If you had the equipment, you could upload audio and/or video assignments. Also, you could utilize pics and images for a variety of purposes.

Getting Organized
After reading the articles written by Kelly Forrister, I realized that I rely on my memory for too frequently to keep myself organized. It was easier to do when I was young and life was less complicated, but as a husband, father, coach and teacher, I am finding that too many things slip through the cracks. The trick is to decide what method of organization will work best for me, and I am trying two different methods: accordian files for school papers and writing to-do lists.
The files have been helpful if for no other reason that my desk no longer looks like a nuclear disaster area. Also, I have misplaced fewer assignments and can find lessons consistantly. The tough part has been making this work while battling ADD-I don't know where to start and get frustrated-but early returns are positive.
Next, I've been writing lists on Word. Initially, I thought one list would do the trick, but using multiple lists have been more effective as I don't have to spend time scanning a single list , for instance, for items involving my kids mixed in with work activities. Instead, I look at a "kids" list, a "school" list, an "MSU" list, and so on and no more time is taken than using a single list.
I have visions of buying a smartphone. I'm not sure if I want the added expense, but I think it could add to my new successes. Let me know if they are worth it!
Organization has never been my strong suit as I have long been known as a slob. However, I feel positive about my moves and hope to maintain momentum.
