The NEW Google Calendar

If you haven't noticed, there is a new Google Calendar look and feel. You can feel free to keep the old Google Calendar, but just realize that eventually, the old calendar will go away. Also, if you make the leap and then really don't like the new look, you can switch back to the old Google Calendar. Eventually, you'll have to learn the new format!!

New Features!

• Now (as I get these resources updated) the resources you choose such as conference rooms, school areas, laptop carts and other resources, will have more details. For example, you'll be able to see much more information on items available in the room such as smartboard, projector, etc.
• See event details at a glance
  • When you click an event once, you can see all the event details including:
  • The entire guest list with RSVP responses

Invitation status

Events on your calendar look different depending on how you’ve responded:

• If you’re attending an event, the event will be a solid color.
• If you’ve answered maybe to an event, you’ll see diagonal lines across it.
• If you haven’t replied yet, you’ll just see the event’s outline.
• If you said no, you’ll only see the outline and the event will be crossed out.
