I really enjoyed exploring Google Calendar this week. We already use one for my sorority, since I am on the executive board and have a lot of dates to keep straight, yet it was interesting exploring it on my own and finding out more about the perks of the site. I think it is so convenient that you can share the calendar with others, and allow people the ability to edit and add other dates onto the calendar. This would be very perfect for teachers because principals or other staff members could add to the calendar, or make changes to certain events. Also, the ability to be reminded of events through email, your desktop, or your phone is extremely convenient in this technology-crazed world we live in. Especially if something needs to be changed it could be sent to a group of people connected on the calendar very quickly and efficiently.
I appreciate the freedom Google Calendar gives you. You can set up your calendar based on months and days, or you can be as specific as hours and minutes. Also, you can color coordinate according to categories. All of this is perfect for me because I GREATLY appreciate organization. I will have one of these no doubt for my future classroom- and I hope you all will too!
I think this is great too! Unlike the traditional calendar, google cal allows you to access it anywhere! Although some people would prefer their traditional calendar, I know many people use this :)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried quick add? You can type something as simple as "Doctor's Appointment from 3-5 on Thursday" and it figures out exactly what you mean and makes an event. I think you can even text things in like that.
ReplyDeleteNoI haven't tried that, i'll definitely have to check that out. Thanks!
