Plan for Success

Taking an online course can be challenging, since it requires YOU to be fully self-motivated and disciplined. As your teacher, I want to make sure you succeed and I believe the best way to do this is for you to create a schedule for yourself that you will share with me. You will do this using Google Calendar.

1. Open Google Calendar.
2. Open Settings
3. On your right hand side you should see a “Add Calendar”
4. Select the drop down options and select “New Calendar”
5. Name it “(Last Name)(Course Code)” i.e; Rivera MCR3U
6. Then select “Create Calendar”
7. Now you will see on your left hand side your created calendar.
8. In order to share you calendar with me, you need to select that calendar and go to “Settings and Sharing”
9. In the “Share with specific people” option enter your teachers email address provided.
10. Now you should go back to your calendar and start creating your schedule. The purpose is for you to stay on track and for your teacher to keep track of your attendance in the class. This will also help in the future when you set up meetings with your teacher.
11. When you create an event, remember to create it in the your course calendar, this is found in the drop down option under “Add Notification”.
