Like many of you, we use FirstClass as our email system. A number of staff/students are not fond of the calendar feature(s) however and would like to use iCal instead. Are any of you aware of having iCal talk to FirstClass's Sync Services - that is based on the SyncML standard?
Were you able to find any solutions to this problem. I am currently exporting my FirstClass calendar into iCal manually and having to deal with reconciling the changes by hand.
You can setup iCal to pull down your FirstClass calendar and refresh automatically. I found the instructions on FirstClass online. I only had to make a a couple changes in "Headermatch" document within Internet Services. It works fine except that the FC calendar is "Read only" in iCal.
I got the instructions from fc.firstclass.com site. This site requires a FCOL account.

Nice way to sum it up, Joseph. I enjoyed the exchange here. I agree w/you on cars in my comment above, but the way. Cars certainly allow us to go places and do things that simply are not possible without them (kinda like the Internet I suppose). My…
Hey Beth,
We don't block facebook and other social networking sites. For the most part, this works for us. It doesn't mean our students aren't off task periodically, but I wouldn't point to facebook/social networks as the reasons for off task behavi…
How are our discussions about safety on the internet evolving as students (and adults) become increasingly connected through social networking and other means? Have we changed our tone, and how?
