Scrum, Lean, Agile, KanBan - these are all terms for project management systems and I think that as educators implement projects, this is a great place to look to handle large complex tasks with teams of people in efficient ways. Meetings are often a waste of time and should be to do what you can ONLY do face to face.  This research posted on Educause's website seems to back up this assertion.  "Gartner predicts that by the end of 2012, agile development methods will be used on 80 percent of all software development projects. Project Management Institute’s research shows that agile project management tripled from December 2008 to May 2011, and can help decrease product defects, improve team productivity, and increase business value.</div><div class="diigo-tags">tags:                        <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/productivity">productivity</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/agile">agile</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/lean">lean</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/kanban">kanban</a><br /><br /></div></li><li>    <div class="diigo-link"><a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/best-chrome-extensions">The 101 Best Chrome Extensions</a></div><div class="diigo-description">An excellent list of Chrome extensions.

This is unfortunate as there are many times I wish I could have the email but delete the message itself. Here is how if you  have to.  9/25/10 Here is a solution for deleting email attachments in Gmail without deleting the message itself.     This is a better way then forwarding the message to yourself because you actually save the original message and timestamps, but with attachments removed.  This solution gets the results you want, albeit a little time consuming.  The basic idea is access your gmail account as an IMAP account using Thunderbird, and then use Thunderbird’s feature for deleting attachments.  You just need to make sure messages are first moved to a local folder, then moved back to an imap folder.   Details: - Determine messages in Gmail that need an attachment removed. - Access these messages in Thunderbird via IMAP access.  To make this easier, in the Gmail web interface you can create a new label such as "delete-attachments" for these messages. -Select messages in TB and "Copy To" a local folder.  This will download a copy of the message and attachment(s) to your local drive. -Then, using the Gmail web interface, delete the messages permanently. -Return to Thunderbird and access the messages stored in the local folder.   -Delete the attachments in the locally-stored messages individually.   -Finally select the messages and use the "Move To" command and select a label within Gmail to move the message.  This will copy the messages back to Gmail without the attachment and upload the message to Gmail servers with original time stamps. </div><div class="diigo-tags">tags:                        <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/productivity">productivity</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/gmail">gmail</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/email">email</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/thunderbird">thunderbird</a><br /><br /></div></li><li>    <div class="diigo-link"><a href="https://www.findbigmail.com/">Find Big Mail - Have you run out of space for your Gmail account?</a></div><div class="diigo-description">This website goes through your inbox and helps you find all the big mail in your inbox so you can clear up space.</div><div class="diigo-tags">tags:                        <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/productivity">productivity</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/gmail">gmail</a><br /><br /></div></li><li>    <div class="diigo-link"><a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2011/09/15/tech-journal-when-gmails-7gb-isn%E2%80%99t-enough">How to Free up Space on Your Gmail Account - India Real Time - WSJ</a></div><div class="diigo-description">How to free up space in your gmail.

Personally, I love my multiple monitor setup, but this does make sense. (I'm forty and don't see hugely well for the really small pixels, though.)  "there's an optimal number of pixels you need to complete the tasks you need to complete. Worry about that number, not the number of monitors you have. That optimal number, for the vast majority of people is about 2500x1400. In 2003—before widescreen became commonplace—it was the case that 2 17-20"(2560 pixels wide) LCDs was the only affordable way to acquire an optimal number of pixels. Today, you can pick up a 27 inch display with 2560x1440 pixels along with a computer attached to it for under $1500. This number of pixels allow you to accomplish most tasks—whether it's writing code and debugging, writing a blog post and reading primary sources, or editing one spreadsheet with data from another."</div><div class="diigo-tags">tags:                        <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>             <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/productivity">productivity</a></div><ol><li><div class="diigoContent"><div class="diigoContentInner">when the study came to the conclusion that it was <em>pixels</em>, not monitors that increased productivity.
