I wrote about using Google Calendar for 23 Things for Professional Development in 2010. Back then I didn’t have a smartphone so my
use was restricted to my desktop. I've just added Google Calendar to my smartphone but at the moment it doesn't seem to sync with my desktop (Outlook) calendar. At
work
we use Google calendar to add events to the library website.
Unfortunately it doesn't display well on smartphones as we don't have a
mobile website at the moment. (However the website is being redesigned
this year so hopefully that'll be something they incorporate then). We
also add this
calendar to our Library Guides.
Another useful app is Eventbrite which is being used a lot now for event bookings. This
is useful as it allows users to add the event into their calendars so there’s
excuse to forget!
Personally I tend to use my calendar just for work and
related stuff, but I can definitely see how having your calendar on a smartphone
could help a student to be more organised. Or is that wishful thinking?
