I am certain that I would never make a personal or family
calendar public, but for classroom purposes I think that a Google calendar
would be a great thing to have for teachers, students, administrators and
parents alike. Instead of a child coming
home to the boring parental posed question of “what did you do in school today”,
they could be confronted with “how did your project on photosynthesis work out
for you?”
I went
ahead and created a calendar for family use.
Since I have to do the work for school anyway, it might as well end up
becoming something that I can continue to benefit from. I also took the opportunity to download the Google
calendar app to my droid bionic so that I can continue to access everything on
the go. I shared my calendar with my
family members, linking it to their email accounts. I am sure that they will still claim to be
unaware of everything that I post on it though, but it is definitely worth a
try. Google calendar has a neat function
that updates the HTML code after changes are made so that you can embed a
current version of your calendar in to your blog. FYI, my life really is as boring as the
calendar would lead you to believe I am sorry to admit. I have attached a link to the calendar.
Dude, you're a grad student and your life is far from boring. I bet it is simply busy, like mine. I, too, created a calendar and it looks pretty, well, boring too! But those lumps of time that I'm unavailable are to be a GA or study. Pretty cool how you linked it to your family members' email accounts and accept that some will still claim they didn't know about an event. But that is common in all families, I suppose. Good post, sir.
