When I first heard about the text-messaging service for educators, Remind101, I had many reservations. My concerns have all been eradicated and Remind101 has become integral in my educational technologies toolbox. This post addresses how Remind101 meets my needs and about a recent update that will no-doubt make the service even more beneficial.
I've been creating some courses around the subject of personal knowledge management (PKM). One aspect of my own lifelong learning system that I didn't address comprehensively in those modules is the subject of podcasts.
Below are the podcasts I find most integral to my PKM system.
NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell MeThis podcast entertains my husband and I each week, as they review the week's news in a light-hearted, humorous way. I look forward to listening to it more than any other podcast I subscribe to…

One of the big principles asserted in David Allen's Getting Things Done is the importance of having a regular “dump” of what's in our brains into some type of capture system. Some of his process of capturing what's on our minds happens in a somewhat prescribed manner, where we look at what projects are on our plates and what next actions relate to each of them. He also has some great trigger lists, where we can read through a list that is designed to trigger our minds to think about stuff that needs doing. The second method of capture recommended by Allen comes more in the moment, as we remember something that needs to be addressed.
I have a few apps that I use when capturing what's on my mind and getting it recorded somewhere. Each of these apps is located on my home screen, so I have easy access to it.
