I also created a calendar. I didn't make my calendar public, but I did take a screen shot of it as well. I thought the calendar creator was easier than the calendar setting on my Mac. I will definitely be using it from now on. If using the public calendar setting, it would be great for posting due dates for the classroom. I would like to try to design a classroom website through Google. I learned about this through one of the "Website of the Day" presentations. I haven't found where you create your own website yet, but I will be looking! Since designing the home page and calendar were so easy, I would think designing the website would be easy too! By using a classroom calendar or website, parents and students can be more informed. This meets standard 6.6: Candidates use technology to effectively communicate with students, parents, and colleagues. And, if students do not have access to the internet at home, a copy of the classroom calendar could easily be provided.
Using technology in the classroom is the present and the future.
