For the past week, everyone was working on their Self-Study for Time and Time management. Please bring that work to class on Tuesday so we can talk about the results.
For next week's blog posts, the first post should be about the study and what you found out. Reflect on what the study taught you about how you spend your time. Discuss how many hours you spent on doing school work versus how many hours doing other things. Also, what sucked up a lot more time than you expected? What did you procrastinate on and how (if you did)? How do you want to plan out your week in order to do a better job at time management? What can you take away from the study and apply to the rest of the semester to come?
The second post is related to your video projects and how you are structuring it. What topic are you choosing for your video and why? What questions are you going to find answers to? Why are those questions important to first-year students? How are you going to use those questions to make an interesting video?
As I mentioned in class, the video project will help teach you about 1) putting together information to present to others, 2) organizing ideas with a clear beginning, middle and end, 3) using video-making technology...but it will also help you practice the time management skills we have been talking about, specifically planning ahead, tackling a large project in small chunks, and giving yourself enough time for the various stages of brainstorming to researching to learning the technology to crafting the project to proofing and troubleshooting. Get started on it right away so you give yourself all the time you need!
