PE4_iGoogle Calendar


For my upcoming Relevant and Innovative Learning Scenario (RILS) project I will be using iGoogle Calendar.  This tool is amazing!  In my team, one of the biggest problems we have is the lack of communication.  Everyone has a different email domain and we can't share our ideas or upcoming events but just on paper which then gets lost and the ball gets dropped.  This web 2.0 tool helps you stay organized and in touch with coworkers, family, and friends.  This tool provides a way to keep everyone informed about upcoming events or meetings.  


It's FREE which is helpful already and easy to use.  You can send invitations, RSVPs, and reminders to all members.  You can color code events to keep them from getting mixed up and even print the specifics. 


There are short cuts you can use to be able to view different screens and work faster.  Events can be detailed or just given a title, time and date. The feature that your calendar can be shared is what makes this tool extraordinary.   


By sharing your calendar, people can see events, be invited to attend, and manage time more efficiently.  Once you've created an event on your calendar, you can invite guest, create google groups, send notification via email or SMS.  You can add an app that will allow you to view reminders on your desktop.  


On your calendar you can see holidays, the weather, and even sport events!
