Lesson Planning with Google Calendar and Google Sites: Episode #1 – Overview

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

After experiencing so much success using Google Calendar and Google Sites to not only lesson plan better and easier, but to also improve my communication of class activities and due-dates to my students (and their parents), I decided to host and record a series of workshops showing teachers how to do the same.

I hope this video series helps you save as much time as I have, while also helping your students better plan and manage their schedules in order to succeed in your class. It will also make you look like a school or district “technology in education” leader, while making your job easier.

Two Quick Notes:

  1. If you would like your school to use Google Calendar for computer lab and library bookings as outlined in this video, have your IT Coordinator watch this video … they’ll get it
  2. This video is best watched in full screen mode.
