Anytime you put something on the calendar you have to go
into the class it is for first! You can only post “course”
events!
All fonts are in Verdana 10!
All homework should be linked to the calendar!
If you are going to have different items due on different
days: you have to at least post what they are and when
they are due by Saturday at noon! You can make them
available later though!
Check out other teachers pages to stay consistent!
