Google Calendar, Google Classroom, and Google Sites

Hello!


I found a trick today that I would like to share with all of you regarding how to add ONE Google Calendar onto your Google Sites that has all of your assignments due for ALL of your classes in Google Classroom.

So it is easy to add a Google Calendar into your Google Sites. And if you have been using Google Classroom, you know a Google Calendar is automatically created for each of your classes. But when you go into Google Sites to add the calendar, you are left with only two easy choices. You can add each individual calendar for each of your classes or you can add your own personal calendar but that will allow everyone access to all of your private information as well.

WELL - I figured out a way you can add ONE calendar into your Google Sites that shows the data from only the calendars you want. 

Here are the steps:

  1. Go to calendar.google.com
  2. Click on the gear icon
  3. Click Settings
  4. On the left-hand side, select the arrow that is right beside Add Calendar. Select New Calendar
  5. Give your calendar a name and then click Create Calendar. Wait for it to do its magic.
  6. Scroll down to make sure it is set to PUBLIC by sliding over the tab
  7. Click Configure or go back to calendar.google.com. Find the calendar you just created and click on the three vertical dots.
  8. Select Settings and Sharing
  9. Scroll down to where you find a button that says Customize right after Embed Code
  10. Click Customize. On the left-hand side, you will see all of your calendars. Click on the box for each calendar you would like to be displayed. You can also put a border around it, change the colors, and a few more if you want.
  11. CLICK ON UPDATE HTML at the very top.
  12. Copy the entire code 
  13. Go to your Google Sites where you want the calendar to be displayed
  14. Double Click so the round circle appears. Select Embed
  15. Click on the Embed Code tab and paste in the HTML Code
  16. Resize the calendar if needed.
  17. Click Publish and you are done!

Using AI to find resources

  Earlier this past week, I was asked by Mr. Morris to find resources for his class over Ancient Africa. The first place I started was not with a Google search. Instead, I turned to ChatGPT . My first query was pretty straightforward. I simply stated I wanted 6th grade resources for Ancient Africa. It did provide some links to a few websites but it was pretty underwhelming. I tried a few more queries before I decided to try the search with Perplexity AI . Not only did Perplexity show six different websites to use but it broke it down better than ChatGPT. In fact, it recommended a new search query under Related that showed some activities I could use as well. Finally, I tried the Bard AI (I had to use my personal G account to access Bard). I found the results on Bard to be pretty much the same as on ChatGPT. Just goes to show why I like Perplexity AI so much! For more information on AI tools teachers need to be aware of, take a look at Matt Miller’s article titled 30 AI tools for t...

QuestionWell AI

  I first learned about QuestionWell from a blog post by Richard Byrne. You can locate that post here .  What is it? QuestionWell is an AI tool developed to help teachers create reading comprehension and guided questions over a topic, a large chunk of text or an online article. The questions can then be saved to a Word document or saved to one of the popular quiz apps such as Kahoot or Blooket.  Educational Uses? I found this AI tool to be incredibly easy and useful. The prompt I used was simply to ask it to generate questions about emerging technology for 9th grade students. I did not enter any text or even a link to an article found online. With only the bare minimum, it was still able to generate 6 essential questions and 19 general questions. I love the ability to filter the questions by learning objectives. I appreciated the ability to easily select all of the questions or only the select few I needed. I then tried the same AI tool using a link to a news article...
