Some of these suggestions are not practical for a teacher. If an instructor checks their email at 3pm, they may miss important and time-sensitive messages from parents, administrators, or other staff members.
learned about being more organized starting with claiming your space, cleaning it and then filling it .
Set time for daily for email response is a great way for efficiency to create more time in the day.
In this module I have learned how to manage, organize and well manuver around my time
Learning to organize will make managing your time easier.
In this module I learned to set timers to check emails. I also learned to set a time when to respond to emails on a given day and time would help with time management.
I honestly would not be able to answer emails only once a day because I would miss a great deal of information from both students and faculty. But I see the point.
like all other aspects of our lives, time managment is key; recognizing where the majority of our time goes can lead to better organization.

Online platforms can help us save tremendous time in manging our class. Our school use Blackboard to oragnize lessons. quizzes, assignments and Reminf ro impootant announcements. It helps also the Powerpoint, pre-made lesson plans rather than reinventing the wheel.
Not responding to emails immediately and reiewing only at set times allows more focus on important tasks.
I check my email prior to class (in case their are messages from students) and after the class (for replys and to check for any new admin messages). I turn off my notifications feature on my phone during class to prevent distractions.
I really like the idea of scheduling a time to address emails. By addressing email within 5 mins of turning on my computer, it says that that task is more urgent than other tasks, which is not always true. There is no reason I have to address all emails first thing in the am or even all at once. Scheduling a specific time of day to address emails is a great idea and removes the urgency while still maintaining the importance.
Getting organized and staying organized is very important. Really do need to change the way that I read and or respond to emails.
Prioritizing to do list tasks and setting aside regular time to read and respond to emails are great suggestions for me to try. I disagree with the idea that instructors should use more multiple choice assessments in order to streamline their courses. We know that instructor feedback is a crucial part of the learning process, so providing students more opportuntites to practice and then evaluating one bigger assignment or project seems like a more effective approach to time management.
Instead of using a different entity to make test questions, I can use the learning management system that the university uses to make the questions there. I will always have access to it if needed in the future. I will have more time by streamlining course preparation and grading.
