Google updated its Calendar with a modern interface. The features are currently the same, but this new design provides room for new features in the future. In late February,everyone in the world will be migrated to the new interface, but you have the opportunity to begin using it now! If you aren’t familiar with Google Calendar yet, it’s a great way to keep organized! As a grade level, team, or content area calendars can be shared to keep everyone on the same page. Send out invitations to an event (even a video chat), attach an agenda, and if something changes everyone will know with an easy email notification.
To give you an idea of what the new calendar will look like, see below for pictures of the classic (current) calendar in comparison to the new calendar.
