How do I add a MyDE school calendar to show up in Google Calendar?
How do I add a MyDE school calendar to show up in Google Calendar?
The directions below use class schedule as an example. MS and US teachers and student no longer need to do this for a class schedules. However, the directions are the same for any school calendar that shows in MyDE under the Calendar tab.
MyDE (aka Blackbaud LMS) publishes many calendars including student and teacher class schedules in something called an iCal feed. MyDE displays a small, dark icon with radio waves on it in areas where calendar information can be received via iCal.
The directions below list how to use a computer to add a My DE calendar to your Google Calendar account. If you'd like to add a My DE calendar to an iPad or iPhone see D-E calendars on iPhone and iPad.
To make your class schedule appear in Google Calendar that is distinct from your main personal calendar, you need to subscribe to the iCal feed associated with your class schedule.
Log in to My DE and select Calendar.
Click on the Web Cal icon - - near the upper-right corner of the calendar. A box labeled "WebCal Feed for External Calendar" will appear.
Under My Calendars, click "Individual Filter Feeds" to display the list of calendars.
Right-click on the LINK (on the right) that says Schedule and copy the link address. (See image below.)
Go into Google Calendar (calendar.google.com). At the bottom left-hand area of the screen, find the section labeled "Other Calendars." Click the + (plus sign) to the RIGHT of "Other Calendars" choose "from URL."
Paste in the link URL that you copied in step 4 above. Click Add Calendar.
Your course schedule will now appear in the Other Calendars section but may have a long, unfriendly name. Follow the remaining steps to rename that to reduce confusion later. (If you don't do this, it may get confusing when you add other school calendars.
Move mouse cursor over the calendar name you just added then click on the three dots that appear to the right of the name.
Choose Settings
Next to " Name", replace what is there with anything you wish such as My DE Schedule.
There are other school calendars you might also want to add listed under School Calendars on the My DE Calendars WebCal feed page. Follow the same directions above for any of those.
