Stats, Calc, Physics: Add class calendars to your Google Apps calendar

You all need to add our class calendars to your Google Apps calendar so that you may easily access all course info.  To do this, open your Google Apps calendar and copy the following urls into the Add a coworker's calendar field in the Other Calendars section on the lower left side of your window:

Statistics:  http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=wpschools.net_8cds42l5aen1qva9apibk2ssko%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

Calculus:  http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=wpschools.net_2uppnlm3ao6lhempltr3au2oq0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

Physics:  http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=wpschools.net_pjiounu0putkf03c72r5gvuc4s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

The calendars will then be shared with you and color-coded uniquely so that you can quickly recognize class events on your calendar by their color.  I recommend that you view your calendar in Day or Week mode, but you may do whatever you find most useful.

My convention will be to create daily lesson plan entries for each class as All Day events (they will show up at the top of your calendar if you are in Day or Week mode, as opposed to appearing during an hour block in the body of your calendar.

I encourage you to ask (and help) your other teachers to share their calendar addresses with you as well, so that when you access your calendar, you'll see all of your course calendars in one easy-to-access place.
