I love being able to continue using iCal and have all my MTH events show up on it automatically. However, the BEST thing about it is that I will never again have to answer the question from my significant other “What’s your schedule today?” (It’s different every day and impossible to memorize.) Since I have synced with Google cal and shared my calendar with him, he can see it on his iphone anytime he wants!

@Maria: MTH servers send out our calendar info fairly often (like every 10 minutes or something) to Google calendar, but Google doesn’t send to MTH, so it’s really a one-way sync.

I finally got my MTH sync’d with Google calendar. I now can access from my computer (Mac ical program) and my iphone.
Question though… if I add something to the google MTH calendar will it show up on the MTH website calendar of is this a one-way sync?

@Jane: You can have everyone view your schedule if you like. On a student’s lesson you can click on “For All Students” instead of “Choose Students” and everyone can see that lesson.

I really like the Google sync. It allows my students to see my entire schedule, which means they can arrange their own lesson switches (many of my students are friends in the same high school), and it also means that parents can see when others are coming and going and arrange rides. If a student or parent is wondering when I’m teaching on a certain day, they can find out on the Google calendar. I’d love it, actually, if my schedule on MTH was visible to all the students who log in. Why is it that students and parents can only see their own schedules? (Maybe some teachers don’t want everyone knowing their whole schedule, but I would love it.)
