Essential Tips for Succeeding in Online Classes Using Tech Tools (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: So you're taking online classes. Here are some tips to help you succeed. You can use the tech that you have at your disposal to better plan your time. The calendar, reminders, and notes app are great for blocking out time and staying on task to finish everything that's on your to-do list. In both the calendar and reminders, you can make items repeat daily, weekly, and monthly to eliminate the workload of keeping up with it. If you're on Apple devices, your default calendar, reminders, and notes apps sync across all of your devices. If you use PC and Android devices, don't fret. You can use Google Calendar, Google Tasks, and Google Keep for time management, task management, and using these will sync across all of your devices, your PCs, and your Androids. If you need to get photos of something submitted to your professor, here's some info. For Apple users, once you have your photos taken, airdrop them to your computer. Then, in Blackboard submissions, navigate to your download section and choose the photo to attach. For those PC users, don't panic. I've got you. I've got you. Once you have taken your photos, download the Google Photos application. Open the app and let it sync your photos. Next, open your browser and open Google Photos on your machine. Save the photo to your machine. Then, lastly, go into Blackboard submissions, navigate to the photo on your computer, attach it, and submit it. Last but not least, check your notifications. Make it a habit to check your student email, your Blackboard notifications, and your course announcements. To check Blackboard notifications, go to the top right in Blackboard, click your name, then click the stopwatch icon for updates. Also, download the respective apps on your phone, apps like Blackboard and Outlook, for your student email. This will make it easier to stay on top of your tasks, your notifications, announcements, updates, and emails. Please, stay safe.
