Time Management
Here's a tip: Don't read all of the time management articles I'm sending your way. Just read one or two and promise yourself you'll try at least one of the techniques today!
"If you eat a live frog the very first thing each morning,
you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that it's probably
the worst thing you'll do all day"
Mark Twain

Collaborize Classroom: New Approaches to Online Discussion
I set up a free account and was up and running quickly. Collaborize Classroom was one of the best 'finds' from my time at the ISTE 2012 Convention in San Diego. Although they are targeting middle and high school teachers, everything they provide fits my needs as an e-learning instructor at the graduate level.
Even if you don't use the website, don't miss their Topic Library. It's filled with solid information and ideas for online teaching.
They also have an App for iPhones.
This is worth the time it will take you to review the materials. Take a look!
