Tech Conveniences

I just used Microsoft Word and 'track changes' to respond to my undergraduates' lesson plans. By doing so I could write my comments significantly faster than with other "pencils" and I could write significantly more legibly. I went to Nicenet then, clicked on each students' email, attached the feedback and sent it. In Nicenet I then sent a single explanatory note to everyone simultaneously. The grades have been entered in Excel. I have a digital record of everything, so if any of this is lost, I can resend. Now I better back up the files...
