Mr. Benesh’s Online Community

Technology making my life easier:

1) Being able to do a multimedia presentation in lieu of a 15 page paper for EADM.
2) Completing and filing my taxes last night in 20 minutes, for free using ufile.
3) Being able to take a course entirely online, instead of having another 32.5 hours in a classroom at some inconvenient time during my already busy semester.
4) Being able to create an e-portfolio to even further impress prospective school divisions looking to hire me.
5) Saving money text messaging short messages as opposed to 5 second phone calls costing me 1min of air time.
6) Electronic sticky notes making sure I never miss an assignment date. They stick right to my desktop!
7) My favourite board game online, Settlers of Catan. It always calms me down and keeps me sane, and there’s always a game going on. In real life, you need 4 players, and you all have to meet at a real house. Kind of troublesome, sometimes.

These just off the top of my head. In a world where everyone says they are stressed out more and more often, I wish I could teach people all the things that I do to save time and relieve stress. This is the best I can do. Hopefully, I can pass some of these on to my students.
