Google Docs & Calendar for Dummies

Google Docs
1. Login to Coe Gmail
2. Look in the upper left-hand corner of your gmail page. You'll see a link to "Documents"
3. From here, you can upload a document you already have or create a new one
4. Also works for spreadsheets or PowerPoint

Google Calendar - this is pretty intuitive.
1. Login to Coe Gmail
2. Look in the upper left-hand corner for the tab "calendar"
3. You can select a day and add events at your leisure.

I use google calendar to keep multiple calendars going. I have four school calendars: Coe, Mt. Mercy, Luther, and Jefferson High School. I color code the events so my family knows which is important to them and we don't overbook ourselves. It is especially helpful when looking at concerts, conventions, athletic events, and finals.
