Make Your Email Easier

While scanning my RSS feeds I ran across this interesting blog post.

How to write a five-sentence email…Whether UR young or old, the point is that the optimal length of an email message is five sentences. All you should do is explain who you are, what you want, why you should get it, and when you need it by.

That about covers it. I hear about and see all the email that teachers get. It takes a lot of valuable time reading and replying to email. By following the advice above I can see a time savings in this area that isn’t a hands on teaching tool, leaving more time for the kids.
