Google Calendar provides a couple ways you can share your calendar.  The first way you will see below provides a link that lets another person subscribe to your calendar.  They will need to be logged into their Google account, and it will display YOUR calendar along with their own. (Personally, I find this method the best for adding my kids' and husband's events so I see our families events all in one calendar.)  The second method displays your calendar in a browser window.  This is probably the preferred Teacher method for sharing with parents. (Here is a video on How to Share Your Calendar Via a Link .) When in your Google Calendar: Click on the Options menu (stacked dots) for the calendar you want to share - Select Settings and sharing - Click on Access permissions on the left side - Click on the Get shareable link - Note that who can see the calendar with this link depends on the access permissions you have set right above.  For example...

There is a new feature in Google Sites that is going to make a lot of people happy!  You can now add custom links into the navigation.  You want a link to your SIS?  You can do it at the top level now!

There are many times I have to share the same information to 2 different audiences, which means I spend time copying and pasting slides from one slide show to another. Now, with Google Slides, you can actually "share" a slide from one show to the other...so when you update the information on that slide, it can be simply refreshed on the other slides shows.  This is slick!  Additionally, you get the option as to if the connected slides match the theme on your original show OR match the theme in your current show. Here's how - Copy the slides on your existing show (control+C on PC or command+C on Mac): Go to the slideshow that you want to add the slides to - if it already has multiple slides, click where you want to add the slides: Paste the slides in (control+V on PC or command+V on Mac).  When it pastes it in, you will have the link options pop up - decide if you want the slides linked (so it can be updated when editing the original slides) or not linke...
