Summary of ESLTECH 2011

Three Takeaway’s 

  1. Using Study Scheduler app: I would recommend this app to all students to use in their schooling. I like Study scheduler because it keeps you on task and organized. It can be used for study sessions to start at a specific time, or any group project reminders, or just normal homework assignments. I found this extremely helpful in classes when I’d have the same weekly assignments so I could have exact times to work on this weekly homework. I also think this app is super convenient because it is an app so if you have your phone then you always have that reminder where ever you are. This really helped me stay on task because even if I couldn’t start that assignment right at that moment, I still had that reminder to do it in a little bit. Overall, I think this is a great app that can be used by especially students, but it could also be used in any workplace. 
  2. Time Management: During this course we learned about time and task management. I didn’t have much knowledge of this before this class; I often procrastinated and didn’t use my time wisely when I was doing homework but this was before I had some education on time and task management. There are many excuses people make (including myself) when they should be doing certain tasks. It is important to recognize these excuses and stop yourself from using them in order to have great time management. 
  3. Credible Resources: Finding credible resources is so important in any type of research. This is something we have learned in this course is how to find these credible resources. I learned that it is important to keep it simple and concise when finding credible resources. There are certain tools and symbols you can use in Google to narrow searches and find the correct information. I was aware of some of these tools, but others were new to me. I will use these tools not just in this class, but also in other course and even out of schooling. It is always important to have credible resources that way your information you are providing is accurate.
