What is Google Calendar?

Google Calendar is an online calendar option that gives you the collaborative features Google specializes in. Multiple users can contribute to the same calendar, you can find and view others' calendars (with permission) and it syncs beautifully with gMail and Google Classroom.

How can I use it to enhance & transform my classroom?

Google calendar will simply help you organize and communicate with your students and their parents. Use it along with Google Classroom to document assignment, project and event dates. Schedule parent-teacher conferences or manage volunteer schedules. Collect RSVP's and send reminders. If it can be tied to a date, Google Calendar can help make it more efficient.
