eLearning workshop focusing on finding time

Find yourself immersed in teaching with no spare time for anything else? We love our jobs, but know it’s not healthy to do them 24/7. So, how do we manage to find some down time? The Shoreline eLearning Community will meet on Friday, Jan. 17, starting at 1:30 p.m. in room 2926 and will focus on tips for finding time for life beyond teaching: time management strategies, Canvas tricks, grading tips, you name it!  Everyone is welcome!   Snacks provided!
Homework:  Each participant is asked to “bring” 1) their time management challenges, and 2) one time management tip to share with the group.
