Give students one day a week to work on a project of their choosing — one that serves a real audience and solves a real-world problem. Help students discover great ideas, write a thoughtful proposal, blog about their progress, craft an elevator pitch, and demonstrate their work through a final presentation.<br /> <br /> 20Time affords students the opportunity to follow the three critical ingredients essential to innovation as described in <i>Drive</i>:<br /> <ol> <li>Autonomy: freedom in what they learn and how they learn it </li> <li>Mastery: the ability to track their learning growth </li> <li>Purpose: meeting the needs of an audience outside the walls of the classroom</li> </ol> When given the freedom to control their own learning, it turns out that students can come up with incredible ideas. The experiences they created are bigger than any I could’ve imagined — like Maria’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/bookloverwriter13/videos" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>, which inspires young people to love books, or Maddie’s <a href="http://www.20time.org/blog/eachithink.com/2014/06/maddies-20time-talk-if-youre-rebel-with.html" target="_blank">Recycling Closets project</a>, which spreads awareness about sustainable consumerism. <br /> <br /> I’m fortunate to work at a future-oriented school that supported the experimental project from day one. But wherever they teach, I recommend that teachers who want to try 20Time give it a go — dive in and present the reasoning behind it. Transparent communication to parents, students and administrators can go a long way toward getting buy-in. For example, I send this <a href="http://www.20time.org/letter" target="_blank">letter</a> to students and parents at the beginning of the year, and welcome other teachers to modify it to fit their needs.<br /> <br /> I’ll be sharing more about what I’ve learned about innovating in schools during my session at Education on Air on May 9. <a href="https://educationonair.withgoogle.com/live/2015-may?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2015-EDU-NA-EDU-EDU-AIR-Blogs&utm_content=" target="_blank">Register here</a> to get updates about the conference.

Inspired by Pink and Google’s “20 percent time”— a practice that allows employees to take time out of their “day job” to work on a side passion project— I created my own version and applied it to the classroom.<br /> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9PLScuQbFT2_wqwNQhnSh44kRZQxgFH4u6z1vaOsYQ4r6CHVnH5JOAyQSPM1Vo9pCbIc5YRg9ZHoxSgO4s7U6JnYeqBIUzjrmfCjE1N4BReRYjDZLHxFnQT1Zuulks-fjl-eymVWBS9ju/s1600/Option+1-+Kevin+Brookhauser+speaking+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9PLScuQbFT2_wqwNQhnSh44kRZQxgFH4u6z1vaOsYQ4r6CHVnH5JOAyQSPM1Vo9pCbIc5YRg9ZHoxSgO4s7U6JnYeqBIUzjrmfCjE1N4BReRYjDZLHxFnQT1Zuulks-fjl-eymVWBS9ju/s1600/Option+1-+Kevin+Brookhauser+speaking+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Guest blogger Kevin Brookhouser speaks around the world about empowering students with time and choice. He'll lead a conference session at <a href="https://educationonair.withgoogle.com/live/2015-may?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2015-EDU-NA-EDU-EDU-AIR-Blogs&utm_content=" target="_blank">Education on Air</a> on May 9th</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <br /> 20Time is a simple concept that anyone can execute, as long as you give students the choice to design their own learning experience and support them throughout. Give students one day a week to work on a project of their choosing — one that serves a real audience and solves a real-world problem. Help students discover great ideas, write a thoughtful proposal, blog about their progress, craft an elevator pitch, and demonstrate their work through a final presentation.<br /> <br /> 20Time affords students the opportunity to follow the three critical ingredients essential to innovation as described in <i>Drive</i>:<br /> <ol> <li>Autonomy: freedom in what they learn and how they learn it </li> <li>Mastery: the ability to track their learning growth </li> <li>Purpose: meeting the needs of an audience outside the walls of the classroom</li> </ol> When given the freedom to control their own learning, it turns out that students can come up with incredible ideas. The experiences they created are bigger than any I could’ve imagined — like Maria’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/bookloverwriter13/videos" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>, which inspires young people to love books, or Maddie’s <a href="http://www.20time.org/blog/eachithink.com/2014/06/maddies-20time-talk-if-youre-rebel-with.html" target="_blank">Recycling Closets project</a>, which spreads awareness about sustainable consumerism. <br /> <br /> I’m fortunate to work at a future-oriented school that supported the experimental project from day one. But wherever they teach, I recommend that teachers who want to try 20Time give it a go — dive in and present the reasoning behind it. Transparent communication to parents, students and administrators can go a long way toward getting buy-in. For example, I send this <a href="http://www.20time.org/letter" target="_blank">letter</a> to students and parents at the beginning of the year, and welcome other teachers to modify it to fit their needs.<br /> <br /> I’ll be sharing more about what I’ve learned about innovating in schools during my session at Education on Air on May 9. <a href="https://educationonair.withgoogle.com/live/2015-may?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2015-EDU-NA-EDU-EDU-AIR-Blogs&utm_content=" target="_blank">Register here</a> to get updates about the conference.

EV Explorer downloads the appropriate map and helps people visualize the data they’re inputting. If people don’t know their work address, they can type in the name of their business and Places API geolocates it. The Geocoding API converts any address into latitude and longitude. We query the Directions API when we’ve got the specific points for home and work. The app then draws the route using polylines between the two locations. <br /> <br /> We chose Google Maps APIs because Google’s mapping database consistently ranks among the most comprehensive, up to date, and user-friendly. With Google Maps, a user can type in “Safeway” and “San Francisco” to see all the Safeway locations in the city and choose among them. If they mistype something or include incomplete information, auto-correcting tools offer suggestions and corrections.<br /> <br /> In building the site, I kept one thing in mind: You won’t make it until you break it. That means you need to experiment, try new things, get your hands dirty, and make random stuff. You’ve got to push the APIs to their limits. And by doing just that, we delivered what we set out to do: Help people understand the wider benefits of electric vehicles and show them how much they could save by switching to electric.</div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Daniel Scrivano, lead developer for EV Explorer, and currently a developer for Insikt, Inc.</span><br /> <span class="byline-author"><br /> </span> <i><b>Editor's note: </b>Today’s guest blogger is Daniel Scrivano, former lead developer for the <a href="http://gis.its.ucdavis.edu/evexplorer/" target="_blank">UC Davis EV Explorer</a>.

Based on that data, the site calculates the annual energy costs for up to four vehicles.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHNikVeb7tf52sMg5ZhYSDJOfALJhEv_KBvcaffngwGyZRX_CbVOn4X5_x75Wv8n3bCniExjxNF1Ls-esYyfbLA82eTnngAwEzQz8tPDVPfCjEBi2UVDIigep3hAC0nvppZ_0csC5NP90/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-03-18+at+9.25.45+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHNikVeb7tf52sMg5ZhYSDJOfALJhEv_KBvcaffngwGyZRX_CbVOn4X5_x75Wv8n3bCniExjxNF1Ls-esYyfbLA82eTnngAwEzQz8tPDVPfCjEBi2UVDIigep3hAC0nvppZ_0csC5NP90/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-03-18+at+9.25.45+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> We built EV Explorer using several of Google’s mapping APIs: JavaScript, Directions, Places and Geocoding. EV Explorer downloads the appropriate map and helps people visualize the data they’re inputting. If people don’t know their work address, they can type in the name of their business and Places API geolocates it. The Geocoding API converts any address into latitude and longitude. We query the Directions API when we’ve got the specific points for home and work. The app then draws the route using polylines between the two locations. <br /> <br /> We chose Google Maps APIs because Google’s mapping database consistently ranks among the most comprehensive, up to date, and user-friendly. With Google Maps, a user can type in “Safeway” and “San Francisco” to see all the Safeway locations in the city and choose among them. If they mistype something or include incomplete information, auto-correcting tools offer suggestions and corrections.<br /> <br /> In building the site, I kept one thing in mind: You won’t make it until you break it. That means you need to experiment, try new things, get your hands dirty, and make random stuff. You’ve got to push the APIs to their limits. And by doing just that, we delivered what we set out to do: Help people understand the wider benefits of electric vehicles and show them how much they could save by switching to electric.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/EV-Explorer-helps-drivers-compare-electric-vehicles-and-costs-using-Google-Maps-APIs.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:EV Explorer helps drivers compare electric vehicles and costs using Google Maps APIs&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/EV-Explorer-helps-drivers-compare-electric-vehicles-and-costs-using-Google-Maps-APIs.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/EV-Explorer-helps-drivers-compare-electric-vehicles-and-costs-using-Google-Maps-APIs.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='2' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/EV-Explorer-helps-drivers-compare-electric-vehicles-and-costs-using-Google-Maps-APIs.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/EV-Explorer-helps-drivers-compare-electric-vehicles-and-costs-using-Google-Maps-APIs.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/EV-Explorer-helps-drivers-compare-electric-vehicles-and-costs-using-Google-Maps-APIs.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love?hl=en' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google?hl=en' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20APIs?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps APIs </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps for Work </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5186812234582590101' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/enhanced-add-ons-experience-for-Google-Docs-admins-and-developers.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='Enhanced add-ons experience for Google Docs admins and developers'> Enhanced add-ons experience for Google Docs admins and developers </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Friday, March 20, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Saurabh Gupta, Product Manager</span><br /> <span class="byline-author"><br /></span> A year ago, we partnered with loads of great developers to showcase their <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/03/add-ons.html" target="_blank">add-ons for Google Docs</a>.

It means waiting to release software until we’re happy with it, having respect for delicate ideas before they reach maturity, and tightly integrating small, multi-disciplinary teams on projects from the outset. As a company that believes in the benefits that technology can bring, we’re also highly reliant on modern tools and development processes. We <a href="https://squarespace.com/seven/googleapps" target="_blank">integrated Google Apps</a> with Squarespace 7, as we already use it to run so much of our own company.<br /> <br /> <b>When did you start using Apps at Squarespace? Why?</b><br /> We started using Apps seven years ago, when the company was around four people. Before that, we used a mix of things I set up myself – such as a tiny mail server run off a box in our office and very basic shared file storage.

Today, millions of people use Squarespace to share their stories online. Here, Anthony shares how the company creates simple, powerful products and continues to grow their global team with the help of <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> and Chromebox for meetings.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprOAjvUXVMYS7F32BsNS5g5Cqa9KqitFM9_6W2oDyamUmjsvYX0Su_vxQcGVX_tt3EGocRJJwS9Iuz3XWzBDlk45j2tpgR_ScOY7vZGEffm4sW8JwU6mR4sSAed6m4A3poWEbgvKD10s/s1600/squarespace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprOAjvUXVMYS7F32BsNS5g5Cqa9KqitFM9_6W2oDyamUmjsvYX0Su_vxQcGVX_tt3EGocRJJwS9Iuz3XWzBDlk45j2tpgR_ScOY7vZGEffm4sW8JwU6mR4sSAed6m4A3poWEbgvKD10s/s1600/squarespace.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <b>How does Squarespace work and create?</b><br /> As a company, we’re committed to respecting the intricacies of the creative process at work. It means waiting to release software until we’re happy with it, having respect for delicate ideas before they reach maturity, and tightly integrating small, multi-disciplinary teams on projects from the outset. As a company that believes in the benefits that technology can bring, we’re also highly reliant on modern tools and development processes. We <a href="https://squarespace.com/seven/googleapps" target="_blank">integrated Google Apps</a> with Squarespace 7, as we already use it to run so much of our own company.<br /> <br /> <b>When did you start using Apps at Squarespace? Why?</b><br /> We started using Apps seven years ago, when the company was around four people. Before that, we used a mix of things I set up myself – such as a tiny mail server run off a box in our office and very basic shared file storage. We were overwhelmed with spam, concerned about security, and constantly had to upgrade our software. I used <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/gmail/" target="_blank">Gmail</a> for my personal mail and knew it was fast and had great spam filtering.

Since launching ten years ago, use cases for maps have come a long way. To celebrate a decade of mapping, we’re highlighting new and innovative ways developers are deploying maps. Read how guest blogger, Elizabeth Schreier, Director of Digital and Social Engagement at <a href="https://www.allstate.com/" target="_blank">Allstate Insurance</a>, is relying on <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/" target="_blank">Google Maps APIs</a> to bring unique mapping experiences to their users. </i> <br /> <br /> Imagine looking at a map of your house and seeing a visual diagnosis of the biggest risks in your area — whether the risk is fire, theft or even freezing pipes. Then imagine getting helpful tips that could help you protect your home against those risks. That’s what we’ve done with GoodHome, a project we created at Allstate with our agency, T3. <br /> <br /> We built <a href="https://goodlife.allstate.com/goodhome/?utm_campaign=GoogleBlog2015&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=blog" target="_blank">GoodHome</a> to make a tool that anyone would find useful, whether or not they were an insurance customer or even a homeowner. We realized we could use our proprietary information about insurance claims to help people identify the most common and costly claims in their respective ZIP codes. We decided to visualize this information, along with relevant property statistics, on an interactive map that included tips to help people mitigate potential risks.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhS9unMSv_s7OwHMF1JwphnK1-JJ7OyF1l0SNDfwYaL82nYe6QO12ETxMhgOBIDbdbxvBMcMEtzmlchkxE4VgQJggC9e9o23DrtMJ6d5TzTzTfQxSGQtoMOPegREDzheobjfXaKNY3wkw/s1600/GoogleCaseStudy_GoodHome.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhS9unMSv_s7OwHMF1JwphnK1-JJ7OyF1l0SNDfwYaL82nYe6QO12ETxMhgOBIDbdbxvBMcMEtzmlchkxE4VgQJggC9e9o23DrtMJ6d5TzTzTfQxSGQtoMOPegREDzheobjfXaKNY3wkw/s1600/GoogleCaseStudy_GoodHome.gif" width="350" /></a></div> We built GoodHome using the <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/" target="_blank">Google Maps APIs</a> because of its familiarity, ease of use and comprehensive features. The development team at T3 created the GoodHome prototype using three Google Maps APIs: Static Maps, JavaScript and Street View Image APIs. They customized the maps by drawing layers, integrating a weather API and using CSS to create animations that brought the experience to life. The development process went smoothly and took just three months from concept to completion.<br /> <br /> GoodHome is more than informative, it’s compelling. A visitor who uses the GoodHome tool is over 350% more likely to request an insurance quote than one who doesn’t. Forty percent of people type more than one address into the map, and on average, visitors stay on the site for six to seven minutes.<br /> <br /> GoodHome also helps our agents build better relationships with customers. When an Allstate customer receives a link to the GoodHome website from their agent, the map automatically opens up to the customer’s home address.

Since launching ten years ago, use cases for maps have come a long way. To celebrate a decade of mapping, we’re highlighting new and innovative ways developers are deploying maps. Read how guest blogger, Elizabeth Schreier, Director of Digital and Social Engagement at <a href="https://www.allstate.com/" target="_blank">Allstate Insurance</a>, is relying on <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/" target="_blank">Google Maps APIs</a> to bring unique mapping experiences to their users. </i> <br /> <br /> Imagine looking at a map of your house and seeing a visual diagnosis of the biggest risks in your area — whether the risk is fire, theft or even freezing pipes. Then imagine getting helpful tips that could help you protect your home against those risks. That’s what we’ve done with GoodHome, a project we created at Allstate with our agency, T3. <br /> <br /> We built <a href="https://goodlife.allstate.com/goodhome/?utm_campaign=GoogleBlog2015&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=blog" target="_blank">GoodHome</a> to make a tool that anyone would find useful, whether or not they were an insurance customer or even a homeowner. We realized we could use our proprietary information about insurance claims to help people identify the most common and costly claims in their respective ZIP codes. We decided to visualize this information, along with relevant property statistics, on an interactive map that included tips to help people mitigate potential risks.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhS9unMSv_s7OwHMF1JwphnK1-JJ7OyF1l0SNDfwYaL82nYe6QO12ETxMhgOBIDbdbxvBMcMEtzmlchkxE4VgQJggC9e9o23DrtMJ6d5TzTzTfQxSGQtoMOPegREDzheobjfXaKNY3wkw/s1600/GoogleCaseStudy_GoodHome.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhS9unMSv_s7OwHMF1JwphnK1-JJ7OyF1l0SNDfwYaL82nYe6QO12ETxMhgOBIDbdbxvBMcMEtzmlchkxE4VgQJggC9e9o23DrtMJ6d5TzTzTfQxSGQtoMOPegREDzheobjfXaKNY3wkw/s1600/GoogleCaseStudy_GoodHome.gif" width="350" /></a></div> We built GoodHome using the <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/" target="_blank">Google Maps APIs</a> because of its familiarity, ease of use and comprehensive features. The development team at T3 created the GoodHome prototype using three Google Maps APIs: Static Maps, JavaScript and Street View Image APIs. They customized the maps by drawing layers, integrating a weather API and using CSS to create animations that brought the experience to life. The development process went smoothly and took just three months from concept to completion.<br /> <br /> GoodHome is more than informative, it’s compelling. A visitor who uses the GoodHome tool is over 350% more likely to request an insurance quote than one who doesn’t. Forty percent of people type more than one address into the map, and on average, visitors stay on the site for six to seven minutes.<br /> <br /> GoodHome also helps our agents build better relationships with customers. When an Allstate customer receives a link to the GoodHome website from their agent, the map automatically opens up to the customer’s home address. The personalized interaction helps agents connect with their clients and provide a great consulting tool that opens the door for a conversation. We plan to introduce GoodHome to all 10,000 Allstate agents across the country so they can spread the tool to their customers.<br /> <br /> We’re excited to play a role in enhancing the home insurance experience for consumers. The power of Google Maps has helped us make a product that we hope will help people see their homes in a new way and think differently about what it means to protect what matters to them. </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Allstate-helps-people-uncover-risks-to-their-homes-using-Google-Maps.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Allstate helps people uncover risks to their homes using Google Maps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Allstate-helps-people-uncover-risks-to-their-homes-using-Google-Maps.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Allstate-helps-people-uncover-risks-to-their-homes-using-Google-Maps.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='16' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Allstate-helps-people-uncover-risks-to-their-homes-using-Google-Maps.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Allstate-helps-people-uncover-risks-to-their-homes-using-Google-Maps.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Allstate-helps-people-uncover-risks-to-their-homes-using-Google-Maps.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love?hl=en' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google?hl=en' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20API?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps API </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps for Work </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='4517880639881565132' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/mark-the-date-Google-Calendar-for-iPhone-is-here.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='Mark the date, Google Calendar for iPhone is here'> Mark the date, Google Calendar for iPhone is here </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, March 10, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Robin Züger, Product Manager, Google Calendar</span> <br /> <br /> Since the ancient <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_calendar" target="_blank">Sumerian calendar</a> that recorded a new month by the sighting of a new moon, calendars both physical and digital have helped us keep track of important moments.

No matter how tough that might be, no matter what kind of obstacles get in the way. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7MFLZI5SgNmNsJvnAUhkZy8TYr32flRtGOws9vcCalsI1L7CYtaWLnHtUBQSWL7tITgxGOlD5s_fYTMt95i904GrOzvCp-DExkaifN5YheWOLy9qsxTQj2UQZ8RJR1rSi8H3b03UfKs8/s1600/tbt-Bridgette.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7MFLZI5SgNmNsJvnAUhkZy8TYr32flRtGOws9vcCalsI1L7CYtaWLnHtUBQSWL7tITgxGOlD5s_fYTMt95i904GrOzvCp-DExkaifN5YheWOLy9qsxTQj2UQZ8RJR1rSi8H3b03UfKs8/s1600/tbt-Bridgette.png" width="640" /></a></div> That’s why this year, in honor of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we want to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp-fejBEJvc&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">inspire the next generation of female leaders to dream, hack, hustle and create</a>. We want to think about the future Sandra Day O’Connors, Oprah Winfreys, Edith Clarkes and Amelia Earharts. Eighty years from now, who will we celebrate during Women’s History Month? Who will we applaud and commemorate for changing the way we look at science, technology, business and education? They could they be our granddaughters, nieces, mentees. Let’s inspire them now.

Luckily, technology helps us connect more easily, and educators don’t have to feel isolated.
