Remote workplace management hasn’t been easy for business leaders. But remote culture is something that’s here to stay. In fact, it is anticipated that 74% of the workforce will work remotely by 2028. Thus, businesses need to prepare their remote task force to deal with the new changes.

What have I learned in a year of constant use of video conferencing? I’ll try to reduce it to a series of points, some of which you may find simple and easy to implement, while others may be difficult, impossible, or no use. But in all cases they are issues that have helped me to make videoconferencing a comfortable tool that I make good use of, and which I needed to appear professional:

Teenagers spend more of their time watching YouTube video clips than television, according to research from DEFY Media. Yet when they arrive at college, they’re suddenly expected to sit in classrooms, concentrating on 50-minute lectures.
The disconnect between students’ digital lives and their classroom experience is narrowing as professors are increasingly embedding video in their courses—for both in-person and online learning.
From not knowing to knowing is part of it, but that’s really too simple because it misses all the degrees of knowing and not knowing. One can’t ever really truly understand something any more than a shrub can stay trimmed. There’s always growth or decay, changing contexts or conditions.
Understanding is the same way: it’s fluid.
Yes, this sounds silly and esoteric, but think about it. While morsels of information–math theorems, for example–may not change, the context students use them in do. Which in turn changes how we consider and use that morsel.
In fact, so little of the learning process is unchanging. Even facts–significant historical dates, labels for ethnic groups, causes and effects of cultural movements–all change endlessly, if not in form (how they’re discussed) than in meaning and connotation (what we think of them).
Design. Engineering. Religion. Media. Literacy. Human Rights. Geography. Technology. Science. All of these have changed both in form and connotation in the last decade, with changes in one (e.g., technology) changing how we think of another (e.g., design).
And so how students use this skill or understanding.

To make the process of assigning students to groups and getting them going on editing the group’s template easier I coded an Add-on script: Group Docs Maker. This allows you to copy and paste your roster of students into the spreadsheet and automatically create a copy of a template for each group. Each group members name is automagically appended to the document title.

When you think about Google services, apps such as Gmail, Docs, and Photos may be the first things that come to mind. I’d be willing to wager, though, that the Google service you use more than any other is one you rarely think about—because it’s woven so tightly into your life that it doesn’t even feel like a service anymore. It just feels like a utility, something that’s always there—like a faucet for metaphorical water.
I’m talking, of course, about Google Search, the gateway to an endless-seeming array of answers and information. But these days, Google Search can do a whole lot more than just look up simple queries.

Browse through these 40 advanced functions—and get ready to see Search in a whole new light.
Students who enroll in online degree programs may be concerned that they will miss out on the interaction that is found in traditional degree programs. However, these students still benefit from class discussions through online discussion boards, which allow them to create original posts about a course topic and respond to the posts of other students. This guide provides information on what students can expect when using an online discussion board, the etiquette to follow on these boards, and how professors grade the posts students make.

Too many tabs open in my browser …I think 64 was my record. In just one window. I am also a great “that is too messy, so I will open a nice, clean window” (but not close the other open ones) kind of woman. But….I can’t close the open tabs because some must be useful, this is DAYS worth of tab-opening right here. Can’t find what I want, so…I’ll just open that tab again, rather than locate the right tab. My laptop is slowing down because displaying the fiddly bits on the open pages is hogging memory. I know I will use these nine web pages each workday, and am sick of opening them each morning. Oh damn!! I didn’t mean to close that tab, and now I can’t remember how exactly I got to it
