Preview Pane in Gmail

By -
When checking email in gmail I really like the ease of being able to preview the message directly from my inbox. With the Lab Preview Pane you can do this easily. First, you will want to enable Preview Pane from the Labs tab in Gmail Settings. 


After you enable Preview Pane from the Labs tab in Gmail Settings you’ll see a toggle button in the top right corner of your message list, which lets you switch between preview and list views.

For those of you who have more vertical space you can also move the preview pane below your message list. You can enable this using the dropdown arrow next to the toggle button:

If you’d like to remove the new layout, simply return to Gmail Settings and disable the lab.

As always let me know if you need any help setting this up:)

Evernote is an awesome tool for keeping thoughts and ideas organized. Its like my brain and filing cabinet online. I can access it from any device (it syncs in the cloud) so I can keep notebooks about topics like grocery lists, travel, meetings, finances, anything. Check it out or let me show you how I use evernote to simplify my life! Another awesome addition to evernote, is the evernote web clipper extension found in the Chrome WebStore. This allows you to clip any webpage or article on the internet to your evernote. For example, if you find something you could use for a lesson you are teaching just clip it and label it and when the time comes it is available in your evernote. Check out this little video. http://evernote.com/webclipper/guide/

Getting Google-y

By -
So today is the magical day that I have chosen to begin this blog journey. I spent the day getting google-y at TCEA in Austin, in the first of a three day "Becoming a Google Apps For Education Certified Trainer." It was an information filled day, but lots of fun learning new google tips and tricks. I am very excited to begin this journey as an Instructional Technologist. I feel like today is my first official step in that direction. I have to say, it was a little weird to introduce myself as Courtney Stevens, District Instructional Technologist, not Courtney Stevens, Principal. But I know good things are ahead and I am super excited.

Can't turn it off....

By -
my brain that is. It really is amazing what summer time does to my brain. It's cruel really. I start off totally ready to turn everything off and just re-boot. And I have done that better this summer than any I can remember. But as always, around the end of July, it comes back in a mean way. And by 'it' I mean the can't sleep, can't turn off the thinking, super thinking, planning over drive mode.... and just a few days ago it began.  I mean sure, I spent a few days in Austin getting google-y but other than that this summer has been pure relaxation. Lots of down time with the kids, by the pool, reading for fun, enjoying my family and I enjoyed every minute of it.  But I truly live for the beginning of the school year. I always have. I love getting the fresh start year after year. I love new pencils and planners and organizing stuff. And this year my brain is in super overdrive preparing for a new position in a new district.  I don't know why but the ...
