19. Google Calendar

20. Why Google Calendars?
-Manage your schedule effectively.
-Look at your work schedule, personal calendar, and any
other relevant calendars in one view.
-Easily change events on your calendar.
-Create and share a calendar with others so they can edit.
-Checkout shared resources (ie: iPad Cows and
Computer Lab reservation times)

21. My Calendar

22. How do I access my calendar?
To access your calendar go to
google.com, sign in if you haven’t,
click the apps dial pad, and then
click “calendar.”

23. Important:
-For best viewing, choose the “Month” view at
the top. (You can also go into settings and
make it to default from there.

24. So, how do I create and share one?
Step 1:
On the left side of the screen, click the tab
and then “create new”

25. Step 2- Enter Details of Calendar

26. Step 3- Share it!

27. Let’s add stuff to it!
Now that we saw how to create and share a
calendar, lets see how we add events and
such to the shared calendar! Once invited,
you should now be able to see it on the left
side.

28. Pick a date
Click on a date on the calendar that
you want to have an event on. From
here, make sure that you choose
the correct calendar!
Sidenote: A common problem is
where a person shares a calendar to a
group, but the group cannot see the
events posted. To prevent this, make
sure that you choose the correct
calendar. If you do not, it will just go to
your own and no one will see it but
you.

29. Options!

30. Go on, try it out!!
Tasks:
1) Share a calendar with me at digitalman737@gmail.com

Google Drive is a suite of apps that lets you
collaborate with others. You have 15 gb of
space to store documents, images, and
videos. Google Drive also lets you share your
work with people / groups of people.

this example, I’ll choose
“document.”

40. Give it a name!
Make sure to give your document a name.

41. Compose your document.
Although it looks a bit different from Word,
Google Docs is very similar in font styles,
page layout, etc.

42. Get to sharing!
To share a document, click “share”
in the top right corner. It will then
look similar to this…

43. At this point, it is up to you to
change the sharing settings. It is
set to “private” as default. Click
“change” I typically set it to
“anyone with link.”

44. From here, type in the Google email
address of the person that you
want to share with. The email
address will automatically appear
once you start typing their name.
Notice the tab on the right, if you
want to collaborate with the
document, change it to “can edit.”
