Managing Time, Part 2

Part of getting a better sense of how I use my time thinking about how I categorize my time.

Initially I used the Virginia guidelines on for how ITRTs use their time. I then added a few of my own categories. Over the past few weeks I’ve added two more.

• Technical-Secretary: For example, one week I spent almost an hour updating room use calendars in Outlook.
• Equipment-Management: Today I’ve spent about 25 minutes setting up computers for new students (printing out labels, assigning them in the database, that sort of thing)

I’ve also split the instructional category into two parts. It made looking through the data easier.

• Instructional: Working and planning with teachers, researching new technology, designing new processes and programs for our school (70% or 27 hours a week)
• Instructional-Classroom: Modeling and co-teaching in the classroom setting.

Yesterday my day looked like this.
