810 Google Calendar Lab
Please click on the link below to view the sample Google Calendar I created for my American Lit course.
Below is a screenshot of my Google Calendar. One of the "neat" formatting options I like is the use of "flair". Providing a key based on "flair" items could prove beneficial for students (i.e. yellow exclamation point = test/quiz; yellow star = class writing/essay)
I figured out flair, but not the nifty background that you did--very nice! What system do you use at your school? (Do you have Blackboard or something like it)?
ReplyDeleteWe currently use Moodle in BHS. Do you use Blackboard at CK? Also, in case you haven't had the opportunity to explore, to change the background of your calendar, click "settings" under "My calendars" and click the tab "General." Scroll down and you will find the section where you can upload a picture for a background. I sometimes question whether or not backgrounds are beneficial (as I consider students with visual disabilities), because they can be distracting, but it seems to work well in Google Calendar because the event descriptions remain in colored bubbles. Sometimes it's nice not to look at a plain screen!
