Digital note taking

I was someone who would use a small planner notebook with me to write my to-do list, and would also take handwritten notes during lectures. This week i learned about several different note taking applications that can used for digital note taking which makes taking notes faster and also helps be more organised. These include oneNote, googlekeep and mindMup

In this class, i also learned about some common problems i also face while taking online class like procrastination and forgetting when an assignment is due or just how to deal all the information overload.  The videos and readings provided practical solution on how to deal with each task, how to prioritize, and how to take notes and set up reminders for getting tasks done

SMART goals

I learned about the SMART goals in my keys online learning class. It is a tool to help a person better achieve his/her goals but providing a systematic way on how to outline ones goal.

To make sure your goals are clear and reachable, each one should be:

  • Specific (simple, sensible, significant).
  • Measurable (meaningful, motivating).
  • Achievable (agreed, attainable).
  • Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based).
  • Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive).

Trello

I learned about trello in my class of keys online success. This was the my first time getting to know about it. I plan to use it in future. Its a virtual planner that is very easy to use and manage
