Google Calendar

Mike Fisher created a great youtube video on how to embed a google calendar into a livebinder. Having a live calendar in you livebinder is a great way to access documents and check deadlines all in one place. You can have a tab that hosts the google calendar among other tabs containing all the documents you need for your project. The other great thing about google calendar in a binder is that you can also embed other google docs in the binder as well. You can have published documents that update in the binder everytime you make a change. You can also have collaborative google docs so students can work on writing projects within the binder without having to worry about re-uploading finished documents. More on that later. In the meantime, enjoy this video by Mike Fisher.
