Google offers a tremedous variety of powerful tools to make us more efficient and effective. Tutorials on a few of the webmaster's favorites are listed below. All require that you set up a free account on Google, and then you have access to all the Google resources listed here. All of these tools are free.
Once you create a BLOG or a Calendar, you can link to it from your Faculty page, Degree Program page, or Department page (coming soon). You can also ask the webmaster to post a link to your calendar or BLOG anywhere else on the website that seems fitting, your committee's page, for example.
