SMART Goal Setting

Something that we learned about in the first week or two of this class was SMART goal setting, and how it is effective with online courses. I’ve been using this for things outside of classes and I really like it. I find that it helps me make progress towards my bigger goals, and helps me feel more accomplished. Something else that I’ve found is that writing down my goals helps me achieve them better. It makes the goal tangible, something you can look at. For me that helps me stay on track.

Trello

A new technology that I’ve learned about in this class that I think will be really useful is Trello. Having an interactive planner that allows you to personalize your lists and be very detailed is really great! I like that I can add sub-tasks within main tasks, it allows me to track my progress on certain things a lot better.

Latest Takeaways from Class So Far

So far, I have learned a lot about how to be successful in online classes from this class. Some specific things I’ve learned thus far that I think will help me a lot in the future are setting aside specific times during the week to do online work, and creating a distraction free space for online class work and just other school work in general. I have been practicing doing my online homework at the same times each week, and I have found that it has helped me feel better about completing my assignments on time. I have also found that it has helped me remember to do my assignments, which can be easy to forget about at times.
