Print your Google Calendar!

Print or create a PDF of your Google Calendar!
Something new to me - the ability to print out or save various views of my Google calendar or agenda!

Here's how:

1. Go to the calendar you want to print or save
2. Click on MORE and Print
3. You will automatically be in Print Preview and you can make adjustments as needed
4. If you'd like to convert your view to a PDF, click on Save As

*Note: I needed to expand the window to full size in Chrome to see the Save As option on the bottom right corner

I love being able to print out specific calendars and agenda in Google! Sometimes being able to hand a calendar page to a colleague, print out my personal calendar or having the ability to write notes on the week's work agenda is helpful!

Tour Builder - a Google Earth Experiment

Tool Builder by Google is a tool for recording and sharing stories with maps, a real breakthrough that may be utilized in all levels of education. It's a must-see! 

Here's a link to a sample: Catlin Seaview Survey Underwater Streetview Tour

PC & MAC: I had no problem viewing the Tour Builder sample with Chrome. I didn't need to install anything. 
MAC: I was successful using Safari. You'll need to install the Google Earth extension if you haven't already, and Safari walks you through that process.

Tell your stories or teach your students with Google's Tour Builder!
