kathkath Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Have any of you used Google Calendar as a planning tool? Have you thought about it? What has your experience been? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spradlin02 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm currently building one, but the jury is still out on whether it's as flexible as I'd like. I'm moving away from everything Microsoft so it's a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelAnnie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I just recently read blog post about this exact subject. It inspired me to play around with the calendar more this week and possibly try it this coming year. So I don't have any personal experience with it, but you might enjoy the blog post that inspired me. :) http://simplehomeschool.net/using-google-calendar-for-lesson-plans/ Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Ooooohhhhhh. Ok. Now you have started something. I have used Google calendar before. I like it. I just like my large squared desk calendar better. But.....I never thought of using Google Calendar to put my kid's homeschooling timetables on.....guess what I will be doing today. Thanks for the idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptwoman Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 We have just found a new and wonderful use for Google Calender. We now have a family calender, it syncs to all our individual google calenders, and we all add our appointments etc into it. Then our iPhones/iPods sync to our google calenders, and voila! Everyone knows what is on everyone elses schedule, no more ringing DH to ask him if he has anything on on Thursday. It's a little piece of genius.

Marylou Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Because of this thread I looked into GCalendar. I am trying to figure out how to make each school subject a different color . . . any ideas? When I went to "Help" I just see a lot of folks begging Google for a color code feature. If I want color coded subjects will I have to make a new calendar for each one? Help!

As far as I know yes, you probably need to make a different calendar for each subject. I think thats one of the ways Gcalendar works- you make multiple calendars, and each is a different colour, so you can see whether the kids' schedule clashes with your dh's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
