[Teachldsseminary] IDEA: How to file all the ideas and links

[fvanroosmalen@gmail.com]

The site that Cheryl mention in her email is a wonderful one, here it is again in case you missed it: 
http://www.ldsces.org/cesconference/DandC/CesConferenceDandC.asp At this site you can find many handouts and teaching ideas from the CES for DC.

During the summer I have printed out all these handouts, and put them in my files of each lesson. That way I have easy access to them while I want to start prepare my lesson. 

That is what I do with all what I find interesting on this list or the Internet: I put them in the files that I have created already in Outlook, or in 'My Documents' or Favorites.

For instances: In Outlook I have created folders under the file DC like this:
-Section 1-25
-Section 26-50 (you get the idea about the sections, right? :)

Then I have added folders like: 
-DC Scripture Mastery
-DC Church History
-DC Great stories
-DC Teaching ideas
-DC Plan of Savation
-DC Articles of Faith
-DC quotes

When I want to save a post from this list for my future lessons I just put them in that folder. That is also the reason why I love it when people put the number of the section in the subject line, like 'DC 89'. Then I know for which section I can use that idea and where to locate and find it.

I do the same for my documents that I want to save on my computer: In Words I have created these folders during the summer: 
-Lesson #0 Plan of Salvation
-Lesson #1 Studying the Scriptures
-Lesson #2 History of Joseph Smith
and so I have created 36+1 files. When I want to copy and paste an idea, list, quizz, song in MP3, in a file that goes with a particular lesson I just open the folder and put it in there.

I teach once a week seminary and then I just open that folder and see what I have already collected over the last time.

Right now I am trying to find some clipart about Jonah for another sister in our ward. I got some wonderful images from someone on the list and I have just put them already in my Clipart folder: OT - Book of Jonah

Anyway... this is what works (most times :) for me, although sometimes I am still trying to find something that I know that I have somewhere stored on my computer!
