Hey Educators! Google Calendar just got some updates that are going to make our lives so much easier! I'm really excited about these. Think smarter event creation – it'll suggest locations and even attachments for things like parent-teacher conferences. No more endless typing! And meeting invites? A breeze! You can see everyone's availability instantly. Plus, if you're like me and juggle a million things, the improved color-coding and organization are lifesavers.
Here are my quick tips for making the most of it:
Smart Suggestions: Definitely use these for lesson planning – they're a huge time saver!
Find a Time: This feature is perfect for scheduling parent meetings without all the email back-and-forth.
Color-Coding: This is your friend – trust me!
Separate Calendars: Don't forget separate calendars for each class.
Reminders: These are essential for those all-important deadlines.
Google Classroom Integration: If you use Google Classroom, definitely integrate it – it's a game-changer!

I am def a fan of the Find a Time feature. Most calendar apps to schedule time cost money but this function is free to use. I love it
