Ok Ill start. What tips or tools can you share for staying organized this year?
Not having direction lets us decide what to talk about ... it is free tweeting (like free writing)
I would humbly suggest starting with The Intentional Educator Planner:)
I also keep a to-do/ progress chart on my board in my office.
Morning! I am a mix of old a new methods. I keep my calendar digital but I have giant binders for Evan's and data.

Best advice is to always be prepared for any eventuality while in the classroom. Where I taught I had to be

This is good advice! https://t.co/efMLItEO0h

We have to now take attendance by computer and I told my Ss they have to remind me every day.
looking to better organize lesson plans.Any ideas on an app or anything else that can easily move things to diff days if need be?
Good morning! Late but here, having a hectic and productive week so Dar
Google Drive is my other go to app. All my files in one place. Access any where. Not thrilled w/Google Docs but its getting better
Even though I'm the tech guy, I stay organized with pen & paper. Never go anywhere without a notebook. Google cal for schedules
Have I mentioned how much I miss you all? ?
I'm doing this with a OneNote notebook. I love being able to add photos, links to lesson plans, in notebook format
That sounds cool, Katie. Can you share an example?
Love that reminders from Calendar show up on my Apple Watch. I love my watch.
good morning! This is an easy one for a principal-hire the best secretary ever over 30 interviews to find her!
I have an iPhone, iPad and mac. I just love all that! I love that it all syncs
I still keep a paper calendar so I can look at chunks of time. I literally print months from Outlook on bright paper. 3oldschool
I would love an app that could tie together all my appointments and wasn't blocked by my district.
you haven't...but we know :)
oh I haven't heard of that, I should check it out, love lists
Using GCalendar, and Drive also Tiny Scanner on my phone- off any important paper to my Drive, always have important papers!
Good morning! My calendar on my phone is my life.
1 thing that's kept me organized this yr is my bullet journal. I'm the tech coach that writes things down on paper. 🤓
I'll have to try that. I don't use Google calendar very well.
At home I still have a wall calendar. I need to see the days we have stuff planned. I need to see a whole month
we definitely do this too! There's something about being able to check off something that makes it so satisfying.
I do write down lists. Something about crossing out items....
Google and my district dont really get along.
Everything Google keeps me organized and allows for easy sharing with others. I set lots of alarms on my phone too :)
Like everything GAFE, just a little practice can make you a believer!
is now trending in USA, ranking 23
Also liking it. Delivering my second PD session today.
I just started using Google Keep and I'm sure I don't know half of what it can do for me
I have to say I do it too, I like to have it somewhere visible, that way I don't forget meetings
excellent change is good right !!!
We have Ts who set popup alarms on their computer to remember to do attendance.
Love . Been doing it for a while and will never use anything else
I also get to school early and will stay late one or two days a week to catch up
Sad face ☹️️ ? They bought , which was SOO good
Sad face ☹️️ ? They bought , which was SOO good
Great idea! I really stink at attendance..I just want to start teaching!
I have a paper calendar at school too... I don't always carry my phone but I'm never without that calendar!
I like Google Keep as well and looking to unlock more of its magic.
In school, my organizer is a very nice Spanish teacher across hall from me. I ask if I have a mtg & what schedule we are following
I change a lot, so you'd think by now I'm used to it.
haha, I do the same thing.
LOL nah, we always go kicking and screaming ( at first!)
I like this idea and it would help me keep track of who I hadn't spent time with.
Anyone want to come organize my kids? Oldest has cross country meet so getting out the door at 530 was rough after studying till 10!
Amen. This is what converted me to Mac products https://t.co/XEkSyT3YAD
I have an iPhone, iPad and mac. I just love all that! I love that it all syncs
Pausing to set daily intentions and priorities is key to staying organized for me. Focus on one thing at a time.
I think about when I first started and their were no computer forget the phone lol there was less to do though
Started in January. Revamped it for the new school year.
Best advice? Don't feel like you have to do all the things all the time, do what you can well
I love apple, but boy is it expensive. but I couldn't change.
I love apple, but boy is it expensive. but I couldn't change.
We have gone microsoft. I think for safety reasons.
I started a bullet journal. Allows me to stay organized, gives an outlet for my need to use nice markers. https://t.co/sJWuEnAaxX
Google Classroom keeps Ss work organized at my fingertips and I use that calendar for them to know due dates
Same. I'm developing a . Parts of and . Goals, gratitude, & tasks
I love this idea, no more wondering why I am in a place at a certain time.
Great convo today style.
Cheers!
Glad I'm not alone. I have a serious notebook and pen addiction.
I live by my google calendar. I can color-code, set it to give me reminders, etc. I really like the "agenda" view.
I am using the note app on my phone more now.
Ah, focus. With all the incoming info I'm finding it harder & harder to focus. Reading Deep Work right now
Stay organized my friends! Just got approval to go to ISTE this year! Hope tp meet up with u all!

Have a great day, Friends! Today is Team or College Shirt day of Spirit Week. Wearing
My home organizer (aka wife) is telling me I need to get some things done before school. Be great today , our students are worth it.
Last year we started that. Every morning the call from office came. "Ummm,attendance?" The kids cracked up. https://t.co/dEeG35kn90
We have to now take attendance by computer and I told my Ss they have to remind me every day.
Nothing innovative. I keep everything on one calendar.
in life as well !! https://t.co/Hmpp7HXPC8
Best advice? Don't feel like you have to do all the things all the time, do what you can well
Love keep! Got some of my Ts hooked.
I payed around with that, but couldn't seem to get it sync right with my Mac and iPad. Suggestions?
excellent !!!!! Can't wait !
I love all thing tech, but I live and breath by my color-coded wall calendar hanging in my kitchen! 😁
I kind of do the same thing. My is my B.O.A.T. (Book of all Things). I just cram it all in
the safety thing is an odd argument to me, not really sure what the issue is there
No, I'm not very organized at all. My eduhero is teaching me!
Will b my 1st time at ISTE. Have wanted to go 4 yrs. SOOOO excited! Got any tips?
hmm..can you get it on your mac? Idk I want to though bc I want to enter things using the keyboard.

Yes! Especially when my daughters were home. We all had a different color!
What safety issues? https://t.co/nZ7AMCVfcX

Sticky notes & pen for me for short term planning, Google calendar & Evernote for long term 👍😄
I'm going to have to try this! Thanks for the idea!

Stress is simply that which motivates us to action.
Dis-stress is the non-management of stress.
Dis-stress will kill.
Tip: Simply just do the next right thing. REPEAT.
TOTALLY agree Christina! I feel like there is WAY too much to organize that it's overload!
Agree! Try to plan but many times get sidetracked with other things that have 2btaken care of
That's SO pretty Susan! I think I'd spend too much time making sure it looked good!!!
I was thinking the same thing!
. . . but where do you fit things like spontaneity, impulse, creativity, non-doing , etc . . . https://t.co/pwbuKMaaEX

Morning Today we ask what was the best advice you ever GAVE to a peer? ( and did it help?)
I rely heavily on my calendar and my at first it was just a toy... Now it's a tool https://t.co/F3IHdjiE0z
I love apple, but boy is it expensive. but I couldn't change.
What's the deal with ? Could somebody fill me in, because I'd like to know!
When one gets comfortable, dirt hitting the top of the box is not far too difficult to hear next
Trust me, spontaneity, down time, it's all in there plenty. Plenty of events get shifted around
Good morning CST! Guess who waited, not ran for the train today?
Best advice I've given to peers: Get on Twitter. Build a Right, :)
I have to agree with this https://t.co/i7A5FTkvek
Best advice I've given to peers: Get on Twitter. Build a Right, :)
Advice for peers: Be a learner with students, model learning; learn with and from your students and let go of 'control'
solves possible bad hair days and affords more
Oh and this is the family calendar, and then some...
Good morning, buddy! - i think we are due for coffee :)
when they options are laugh or cry. Always choose laugh.
Peer advice: It could always be worse. Find something to be grateful for and use that to fuel your efforts.
It's okay that things don't go perfectly. The question is, what did you learn from it and what should change because of it?
Thanks peeps you are awesome !

Morning Today the question is : What was the best advice you ever GAVE to a peer? ( and did it help?)
Especially in my 1st year, I found it was easier to build on, intentionally expand on success than to fix problems
Nice, Sendhil. I have found the skin does tend to thicken over time :)
Thanks to all for a good morning start !
Best advice was to "not take yourself so seriously, it's about the Ss not you."
