Thing #6

The tool that I chose to explore was Google Calendar. I really enjoyed this tool because it's a place where individuals can customize their own calendar online. The tool provides an hourly view of the schedule of each day, and can also be broken down into a weekly and monthly view. The most interesting thing about this calendar is that one has the capability to subscribe to other people's calendars, which is great for the classroom setting. The more I explored this site, the more I fell in love with it, and the more I began to see ways I could use this tool. I never found anything that I did not like about Google Calendar. I believe that with the current shift to technology within the classroom, this tool has a tremendous value. With the capability to subscribe to other people's calendars, teachers could create a schedule for their class entirely online. All the students will have to do is subscribe to the calendar to know exactly what they are doing each specific day. The calendar is available to see at all times, so if a student was to miss a class they would still have the ability to look at the calendar and be able to complete the assignments and stay caught up in class. I can see myself using Google Calendar in my classroom one day.
