FMS AlgebrasCool Calendar
We can use this blog as a calendar to track who is using what DVDs at any given time. This blog is invite only - I will create posts for weeks in a given month. All you will need to do is sign in to view the blog (I made it "invite only" so it is limited to us, at least for now- I may take that off at some point, but figured while we were learning that would be a good idea.). Then, in the week you would like to use a DVD, leave a comment. I will check the comments and update the calendar every couple of days. That way, we shouldn't duplicate each other. Logging on to the blog is easy - this was the simplest way I could imagine to have everyone see a calendar instantly.
If this works, I will create a separate calendar for the MathsCool DVDs, so the whole math department can have access.
