Friday's Google Tidbit: Calendar Reminders

As educators, we live a very busy life.  As a technology facilitator at your school, you barely ever have any down time!  In an effort to stay organized, please know you can set default reminders for any event you create in your Google calendar!  You can even get reminders sent to your phone via text message.  Here's how you get started.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Go to your Google calendar and click your gear in the top right corner and choose Settings.</div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3sQW7leX-EA/UJ0iymtQP7I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/DdqyYMc-YRc/s1600/Calendar+Settings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3sQW7leX-EA/UJ0iymtQP7I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/DdqyYMc-YRc/s200/Calendar+Settings.jpg" width="126" /></a></div> <br /> Using your blue links across the top, choose <b>Calendars </b>then <b>reminders and notifications</b>.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W_v5T8zg_yE/UJ1mtdYa6wI/AAAAAAAAAuM/QDUyROWZSzQ/s1600/Calendar+Settings+Reminder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="68" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W_v5T8zg_yE/UJ1mtdYa6wI/AAAAAAAAAuM/QDUyROWZSzQ/s400/Calendar+Settings+Reminder.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> Once in the <b>Reminders and notifications</b> section, you'll probably see default reminders already set for you. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FM5cQJx0QyA/UJ1nUQrvNCI/AAAAAAAAAuU/d8nVhjLIJ3M/s1600/Calendar+SMS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="96" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FM5cQJx0QyA/UJ1nUQrvNCI/AAAAAAAAAuU/d8nVhjLIJ3M/s400/Calendar+SMS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> If you have Popups as an option, please note popups only work in Google Chrome, and we use Firefox and Explorer in our schools.  You can click <b>remove</b> below a reminder to get rid of a reminder, and you can use the drop down menu to switch between Email, Popup, and SMS reminders.  Use the second drop down menu to choose the reminder interval: minutes, hours, days, or weeks.  Make sure to Save changes at the bottom!</div> <br /> Speaking of SMS (Short Messaging Service also known as text messaging) reminders, that is what you choose to have reminders sent to your phone! Yes, standard messaging rates still apply.  :)  But first, you must enable that option.<br /> <br /> Here's how you do it.<br /> <div> <br /> Go back to your main calendar settings, and choose<b> Mobile Setup</b>.  Enter your cell phone number and follow the verification code prompts.  Make sure to Save changes at the bottom!</div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LCJdRKQxW9Y/UJ0ixapGi9I/AAAAAAAAAtE/L5nztTNXd1U/s1600/Calendar+Phone+Verification.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LCJdRKQxW9Y/UJ0ixapGi9I/AAAAAAAAAtE/L5nztTNXd1U/s400/Calendar+Phone+Verification.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> After you have enabled your Mobile Setup, then you can choose SMS reminders (directions above)!
