Getting iCal to sync with Google Calendar

I am using Bento to store and create lesson plans for my classes this year. Bento automatically syncs with iCal and makes a great Lesson Plan Calendar, however, no one sees it. We use First Class as our mail server and to post to the web - it does not like iCal. We just started using Google Apps for Education and I see a lot of promise here with my students. I have been able to use the Google calendar to sync with iCal, but it is only a one way street. I need them to sync dynamically so that any changes I make in Bento will show up in iCal and Google Calendar. This way my students can access the calendar through Google Apps to see assignments.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Interesting that you should ask today. I came across this yesterday and marked it for further use. I think it answers your question.

That website is great. However, I don't have an iPhone but would still like iCal and Google Calendar to sync. Thanks for the site.

You can still sync iCal to Google Calendar. http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answ...

That should explain. If you have further questions just ask. I have iCal syncing to Google Calendar and my Blackberry.
