Last week we talked about creating folders in Outlook 2013 in order to save and later locate important e-mails. Another way is to flag e-mails, which is a quicker process. To flag an incoming message, click the flag to the right of the e-mail in your list for follow-up today. Right-click the flag to select other date options.

If you’ve opened the message, click the Message tab, click Follow Up, and then select when you want to follow up. You can also right-click the flag and click Add Reminder for a pop-up at the date and time you choose for a visual cue. This is a good idea if you tend to flag a lot of messages. Once you flag an item, it creates an entry in your Task list, which you can access by creating on Tasks on the bottom left of your screen. You can clear a flag and remove the item from your Task list by right-clicking and selecting Clear Flag.

If you've used Kahoot.it in class, what is your feedback regarding it's usage?

It makes quizzes fun. I also like that for the most part it's anonymous.

It is frustrating because it is a game of reaction. It does not give you time to think or analyze questions. It becomes a game of who can click the fastest and not trying to answer the ques-tion correctly or understand it.

It engages the class, and is a helpful study tool I enjoy using Kahoot because it brings a sense

of competition in the class room that we don't really get on a daily basis.

Kahoot is a great tool for reviewing before tests or for reinforcing a lesson.

I have both made a Kahoot for a presentation and have had my teacher use it for a review.

Awesome! Very engaging.
