Today I became overwhelmed with my tech life. I also realized that I need to invest in some glasses because my eyes, and then my head, begin to hurt after a while of being on a computer all day. I'm fascinated with the tech life and all that is out there, but today I wanted to throw it all away because I can't keep it all straight.
It began in class when I was trying to remember which group I was in for a certain assignment. We talked about posting things on Google.docs and I found out that I had posted the wrong thing to the wrong group. I have three different groups right now and I can't keep them all straight as far as what "site" I need to work on for that group.
Below is a list of the "sites" that I check into everyday! At night I go to bed worried that I have forgotten to check in somewhere.
Right now I belong to in my UW life:
3 Google.docs
2 Blackboards
a bunch of blogs (including my own)
3 wikis
For my intern life I belong to:
a few different websites
a Smart board "how-to"
At home I belong to:
Moodle (for my older daughters school)
Juneau website (for my younger daughters school)
Scoutlander (for girl scouts)
Not to mention my everyday stuff that I check into:
Facebook
NY Times
Seattle Times
Everett Herald
more blogs
3 different e-mail accounts
I need a calendar to help me run all this... so if you are aware of a "site" that does this, let me know will ya?
I don't know about a calendar, but some thoughts on organizing a digital life:
ReplyDeleteI keep track of multiple things on my IGoogle home page. I can then access everything from any computer by logging into google.
Any blogs that have RSS feeds can get their own widget on a home page, I just checked and found a Moodle widget. Seattle Times and New York Times both had widgets, and there's another will display all your active Google Docs.
There are also multiple bookmark widgets for some of the rest that don't have their own widgets or feeds.
You can even create seperate pages for school stuff, kid stuff, and personal reading.
Intrigued?
VERY intrigued!!! Thanks! I'll play around when I can and attempt to figure it all out.
