The Google Calendar is a free Internet calendar that lets you keep track of your own events and share your calendars with others. It's the ideal tool for managing personal and professional schedules. It is both simple to use and very powerful. You can register for a free Google Calendar account.
One of the problems with an Internet calendar is that it's on the Web, and you may be too busy to check. Google Calendar can send you reminders of events. You can get reminders as emails or even as text messages to your cell phone. If you have a compatible cell phone, you can view calendars and even add events from your cell phone. This means you don't have to carry a separate organizer to events that will be within cell-phone range. Many people with Blackberrys use this tool to keep up-to-date on their schedules.
The only thing that's really missing from Google Calendar is a to-do list. It would be nice to see tasks that are not necessarily scheduled for a certain time, and it would be nice to be able to send or receive them like calendar events.
The Google Calendar would be great to help organize the busy schedule of an educator, and publish to students and parents available times for meetings and office hours.
