Managing Your Time: Online Calendars

Tired of flipping through the pages of a paper planner?  Although paper planners are a valuable tool to organize your appointments, assignments, and life, if you prefer technology, you may want to consider using an online calendar.  If you are struggling with time management or organizing appointments, assignments, quizzes and tests, you may find that an online calendar is just what you need to get organized and stay ahead of course due dates!   

Online calendars are a great way to organize your work.  If you have an important test or assignment approaching, set reminders a few days in advance and receive a text reminder.  Online calendars will even help you organize your group project and enable you to create a special Yahoo! account for group projects.
