How was your holiday weekend? Mine was relaxing. I didn't end up going to Arizona because there was an ice storm that prevented us from driving to the airport two hours away. We had a lot of family Wii bowling and racquetball tournaments and I read a really good Jodi Picoult book.
We have four GL's scheduled so far for December. I just rostered you in for them. Let's talk with David today in our meeting about what sort of projects we could work on while it's slow in December and January. We usually have GL's trickling in still throughout this time, but not as many.
I will begin harvesting professor email addresses for the spring semester and David and I will send out invites that will spark interest for the spring GL schedule. This will keep me busy while things are slow and prepare for a very busy spring.
With that said, are you all liking the new scheduling system? Is it working out for you to check in with the Google calendar and Google Master schedule? How about this blog? Would you rather me email you? I'd love to hear from you all on what works for you and what doesn't. Each time I schedule a new GL in the google calendar, there is the option to "invite" you to it. This just means you would receive an email notice about the GL that was just scheduled. Let me know if you would like me to do that each time I schedule one, because it is an option. I just wasn't sure if you wanted your inbox cluttered with these when you can simply go in and look at the calendar. On the flipside, I don't want you to feel surprised either. Most of the time, when a GL is scheduled without the two week notice, I email you anyway.
Let me know your thoughts! :-).
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and now the Xmas madness begins. Today is Cyber Monday! Free shipping at Barnes and Noble and just about everywhere else!
See you at the meeting in a few....
Warmly,
Michelle
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThis blog is great! I hope you will keep it going. I also really like having access to both the Master Schedule and Google Calendar, although I must admit to using the Calendar most often. Thanks for working so hard to keep us organized! :)
Best,
Anna
Thank you, Anna! I'm glad to get everyone's feedback. Kevin mentioned having trouble sometimes with the Google Docs master schedule freezing up. I have the same problem. In the future, I might just present a Google doc for each month separately (with the calendar still showing future months). This might eliminate the freezing. Alicia mentioned to me that it might be easier for you all if I added your names first when documenting lectures in the calendar. So, I plan to implement that change as well. Thank you for the feedback!
