Is it worth the cash?

I was browsing through the App Store (remember my buying advice? If not check it out here) and came across this lesson planning program and thought I’d give it a try.

Read on past the break to see how iCal can be leveraged to help YOU out with your lesson planning.

PS iCal is only on Mac computers and the glorious video is at the bottom of the post
