It took me awhile but, I really love google calendars especially when I have it integrated with my iPhone. Often I’ll set up meetings in Gmail and I always wished there was a quick way I could make a note and then have it instantly be added to my calendar. Now, with the help of a few google labs additions you can do just that.
Google has a nice little widget that allows you to add a small calendar to the side of your gmail window. This widget also has a small “quick entry” box which will parse a note such as “Meet with Bob at 7 tomorrow” and will automatically place an appointment on the next day from 7pm to 8pm with the description “Meet with Bob”. Want it to be until 8:30pm? You could write “Meet with Bob for 1 ½ hours at 7pm” or “Meet with Bob form 7pm - 8:30” Or many variations there of and it gets added as an appointment to you google calendar.
So how do get this wonderful little widget? Simple!

Hello everyone,
As promised this week we will learn how to used Google forms. This is a part of Google Docs and allows you to create online surveys or tests that can be distributed via email, links or embedded in a site like homeroom. The resulting data can be viewed in the browser with built in graphs and charts, printed out or exported as an excel file. It also allows you to automatically collect the taker’s identity and email address if you choose.
Some possible uses for this include:
- Survey
- Pre-tests
- Exams
- Questionnaires
- Scholarship and art contest entry forms
