Google Workspace: Calendar

Calendar is as its name suggests, a calendar. Available online and as an app on both iOS and Android devices. It’s great because you can attach documents from your Google Drive to an appointment, so for example you could write notes in the days leading up to a meeting and then when you get to the meeting your notes are straight there in the calendar appointment.

You can access Calendar by going to calendar.google.com.

Colours

Each calendar displayed will have a different colour so you can easily see what events are in your calendar and what are in a different calendar.  

For example in my calendar I have my own events in light blue, the IT Calendar in purple and the College Calendar in orange.

You can easily change the colour of your calendar by clicking the more icon to the right of the calendar name.

Adding the College Calendar

By default your calendar will only show your events and reminders but you can easily add the shared Staff College Calendar so you can view what is happening around the college.

There are two ways to add it, the easiest method is to go on to the myBarton homepage, find the Calendar section and click Subscribe at the bottom of that square. The second way is to open Calendar and look for the Add calendar field then type in Staff College Calendar and hit Enter.
