The rotating block schedule is great for student learning, but as a teacher it can be to keep track of what day in the cycle it is. Fortunately, you can add the rotation schedule to your Outlook calendar so you can easily see what day it is! Here’s how:
First, open the calendar page from Dragon’s Gate and select the iCal feed from the right sidebar.
