This document provides instructions for an activity where students will be divided into groups and each group will examine how a specific productivity tool can be used for classroom management, attendance tasks, and other productivity tasks. Each group will be assigned a tool to evaluate and will answer questions in a shared spreadsheet about the tool's potential uses. The group facilitator will fill in their column of the spreadsheet. The completed spreadsheet will then be posted to the instructor's website.

1. Hands on activity:
productivity tools and tasks
• The purpose of this task is to challenge you to think

other productivity-related tasks?
o You will think of this one tool and how it can be used (or not
used – be prepared to justify this, though!) in the three
categories I have mentioned earlier
