Podcast: The 12 Digital Gifts Smackdown

In the spirit of the giving season of Christmas this episode of the of the Coppell Digital Learning podcast we decided we wanted to hear from the educators.  We connected with several educators in our district to share what their favorite app or digital strategy is they LOVE and use in their learning environment.  Listen to see what the CISD educators are saying...

 Share your gift by sending out a tweet and use #coppelldlc so we are sure not to miss your suggestion.   It looks like we are planning to share more "love of technology" in February!  It might just be you featured in the upcoming episode!

Embedding a Google Calendar into SchoolWires

Managing different calendars under one account allows you to quickly manage multiple areas from one originating source.  By creating different calendars you can easily share different calendars with different groups of people.  One way to share a specific calendar is to embed the calendar in another source using the html code.  This tutorial will show you where to find the embed code and how to insert it onto the html view of a SchoolWires page.  And, the best part is the calendar is instantly updated without having to log into another source!

2 key things to remember when sharing a calendar in this format:
1. Make sure sharing is set to public so the information will show up for those viewing the calendar.
2. When you are adding an event, be sure to select the correct calendar so the event will show up on the correct calendar.

Good luck streamlining your calendars and communication with others!
