As teachers we are constantly looking for tools to help support the home-school connection for learning. The use of an online calendar is one such tool that teachers can use to place classroom events, assignments, and more! Parents and students can access the information posted here, anytime and anywhere for instant access. If you want to create a stronger home-school connection use some of the free online tools. Look at the calendar I have posted for my professional development events and ideas. You can sign up for your own calendar and customize your events, too, at AssignADay 4Teachers or search for a calendar by subject, id or last name of the creator. There are so many examples for you to get ideas. Type "American History" into the subject box to see examples of the calendar use by teachers!
