INSERT CLASSROOM GOOGLE CALENDAR
TO CREATE A CALENDAR:
Go to calendar.google.com and log in with your C2E email address.
On the left side of the screen you will see a column that has a small monthly calendar in it. Scroll down within that column to the very bottom.
You will see a menu labeled "Other Calendars." Next to this are a plus sign and an arrow. Click the plus sign.
Click "Create New Calendar." Name your calendar something that helps identify it as your classroom calendar, such as your grade level or content area. Enter a description if you would like. Then click "Create Calendar."
It will load for a second, then at the bottom it will tell you the calendar was created. At this point, click the back arrow in the upper left corner of the window to go back to your main calendar screen.
Find the left column again and scroll until you see your new calendar, which will be listed under "My Calendars." Use the 3 dots to customize the color and adjust the privacy settings.
TO EMBED A CALENDAR:
Go to calendar.google.com and log in with your C2E email address.
On the left side of the screen you will see a column that has a small monthly calendar in it. Scroll down within in this column until you see the name of your desired calendar. Hover over the name and click on the 3 dots that appear to the right of it. Select "Settings and Sharing."
Scroll down to "Access Permissions for Events." Check the box next to "Make available to the public." This will insure that your families can view your calendar. Do not navigate away from the settings page.
Next, scroll down until you see "Integrate Calendar." Find where it says "Public URL to this calendar" and right click on the url listed directly below it (the part that starts https://). Click on "copy." Navigate back to to this tab.
On the right side of this page, click on "Embed." Right click inside of the text box and click "paste." Then click "insert."
When the calendar is selected, click on the small gear icon that appears above it to change the "View Mode" to automatically show your preferred calendar (Agenda (daily), weekly, or monthly). People who view your site will be able to choose their viewing preference.
Click on your calendar and use the dots on the edges to drag and change your calendar's size. Click and drag your calendar to change its location on the page.
If inserting multiple calendars, repeat the process!
