Calendars
Why Google Calendar?
You may have any number of reasons to share a calendar with your fellow collaborators depending upon your level of cooperation. Some uses include:
- Tracking meeting times
- Ensuring major exams/due dates line up
- Posting day-by-day assignments, homework, etc
Some of Google Calendars robust features include the ability to:
- Make multiple calendars in a single Google Account - I personally have a Google Calendar for my appointments, one for my wife and kids, another for my World History classes, etc.
- Embed a calendar in Google Sites or other web site.
- Share calendars with others.
- Collectively maintain a calendar with others.
- Keep the calendar public or private
- Subscribe to other people's events and/or calendars as a whole
Think of the Potential...
If every teacher at your school did there schedule on Google Calendar, parents and students could subscribe to each class calendar. Wouldn't that be a great service for your students?
