See Link below for a calendar that I made using Google calendar. I have been using the APSU calendar since I started school here a year and a half ago and am pretty happy with it so far. The reason I chose to use the APSU email and calendar as opposed to Google, is merely because some professors demanded all email traffic through the school provided account. Instead of maintaining several different accounts, not to mention user name and passwords, I decided to manage just one account. I was not able to figure out how to import or export from APSU, but the Google calendar has that feature with help as well. Setting up a Google calendar could have student, parent, and classroom benefit as well to share the schedule. I am not sure that there would be a need for both a blog and a shared calendar unless the calendar was linked to the blog. As a teacher, we must recognize the most effective way of communicating with our students and their parents. One way may be extremely effective for one but not as effective for another, so multiple approaches may be needed.

I also chose to add an alert to Iowa Hawkeye Wrestling. This was just a personal reason towards something that I will actually use routinely. Other topics can prove useful to provide to students if they have a research project, or have an assignment towards current events. As a coach, I have endless time in front of the computer tracking other teams or individual wrestlers, so the benefit to having alerts posted with updated information will be very useful for me.
