John , I like that term "topic starter." Anything we can do to help students thing about what they are learning an how it applies to real life and their future, is great. Thanks!

Cindy, The subject line can be key to the communication process through email. It helps us answer more quickly and respond to students. the 24 hour rule is a good one. Thanks!

Cindy, Sometimes we really have to pull up our "organizational gene" to get everything done. We also have to help our students do that. Keeping a day for family is essential. Excellent!
Cindy, Excellent strategy. As we are proactive in our communication with students, we'll see that decrease in email. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

Patricia, I do the 24 hour rule as well. I also tell my students (and put it in my syllabus) when I will be checking email and Blackboard (i.e., during my office hours (whether online or F2F from 10:00 a.m. - Noon Tuesday and Thursday, etc.). Thanks for your input.

Patricia, Scheduling the daily or weekly tasks is important to keep yourself and students on track. I think as we are better organized, it also affects our students' learning. Nice job.

Patricia, Love that you use the word scaffolding and "broken down" in the same sentence. ;-) Many times you have to break down to be able to build up or build upon! Thanks!

Letrice, "Gauge" is a great word to use for rubrics. We have to make sure they are measuring what they are supposed to be measuring and they are effective. Thanks!
Letrice, It's good to utilize online resources for examples and to provide you with a good starting point. But, it's essential to make sure you edit them to meet your needs. Good info. Thanks!
