Some days it is just hard to keep up! I would absolutely die without my Outlook calendar. It keeps me straight, if not on time, for all of my appointments with teachers, meetings, etc. Because we use Microsoft Exchange, I had to find a gadget to view/add appointments to my calendar when not on campus. There are lots out there, but I chose Google Calendar, a gadget to put on my iGoogle page. It syncs with my Outlook calendar whether I am on campus or not. I can also add appointments when I am away from work. And, of course, I can view it from any Internet connection. Now my whole life is straight! I just gotta be on time...
Google Calendar in the Classroom
http://monarchlibrary.wikispaces.com/LibraryCalendar This library media specialist added Google calendar to her wiki. She uses it to keep track of library classes and lesson plans. A teacher could do this and make it the student's homepage. The teacher sets the option to make the calendar read-only or collaborative. Students need not have a gmail account to collaborate. They get to see assignments and upcoming projects or add items themselves. This could also be set up for staff members to collaborate for PLC's, committees, staffings, etc. What a great idea!
More information here and here on how to set up your Google calendar and ways to use it.
