Educational Technology Guy: Google Calendar for Educators

Educational Technology Guy: Google Calendar for Educators | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From educationaltechnologyguy.blogspot.com - February 6, 2012 12:43 AM

From David Andrade

 

Google Calendar is one of Google's many free resources that I use. It has some features that make it very useful.

 

It's accessible on any web browser and integrates and syncs with smartphones, Outlook, Apple iCal and Mozilla Sunbird.

 

I have all of my appointments, due dates, deadlines, etc. on it. I color code them based on school, blog, degree program, meetings, fun, etc. My wife and I share our Google Calendar's with each other so we can easily see each other's schedules. If you use Google Tasks and set a due date for the task, it will show up on your calendar for that day. I also have US holidays and the Yankees schedule on my calendar.

Stéphane, I agree with you 100%. Thanks for pointing this out to everyone.

A quick search reveals the following from Logitech's site: Take the Broadcaster everywhere thanks to a hard plastic carrying case that doubles as a stand. A magnetic base on the lid makes mounting your camera effortless and lets you easily adjust it for the perfect angle. For more versatility, the lid also attaches to your favorite tripod.
