A quick video about it in case you’re interested: [] 1. Create a __ Google email account __ at [|http://gmail.google.com]. (Think about what you want to name this email account, as well as your password. Now, just a word about passwords. For all of these tools, figure out a standard password you use and use the same password with everything or slightly modify it using a street number as needed). Once you’ve created your Google email account, you’re ready to create some other useful tools. 2. Create an __ iGoogle personalized web page __ at: [] · Once your iGoogle page is created, customize the look by clicking on “change theme” in the upper right side of the iGoogle page. · Then, add some gadgets by clicking on the “add stuff” link in the upper right side of the page.

Use the “gadget search” to search for other things you may like such as “sports” or “education” or “animals” or “history”… · ** Add blog postings ** to your iGoogle page. As one example, let’s say you want to follow the progress of the Clovis Online School. Click on “add stuff”. Look on the left side, half way down the page, where it says “add feed.” Click on “add feed.” Paste in the Clovis Online School blog web address ([|http://clovisonlineschool.wordpress.com]). You will now see the latest postings from this blog on your iGoogle page. (And, you can add any other blogs you’d like to read on your iGoogle page, but there’s another way to read lots of blog postings that is next).

Develop capabilities, specific knowledge and skills to make SMART goals. // · ** S ** pecific / Strategic : The goal should identify a specific action or event that will take place. State the goal as a declaration and not a wish.

If you don’t have the resources, it is difficult to achieve a goal. · ** R ** ealistic / Results based : The goal should require you to stretch some, but allow the likelihood of success.
