 YouCanBook.Me allows users to book appointments through your web site using your Google Calendar. The site requests access to your Google calendar to show your availability and add appointments as they are booked. When you set up your book me schedule, the system will create a unique URL that can be changed. You may embed the calendar into your webpage with a provided script or use the URL. Users of your site are able to select a time slot for booking and complete a form. You may configure the booking form to meet your needs. Once customers book their appointment, they will receive an email that includes a cancellation link. You will also receive an email alert regarding the booking. You are able to customize your calendar settings and view a live preview as you make changes before saving the changes. A few of the customizable features include: -Set booking start and end times -Set booking duration (i.e. 1 hour, 2 hour, etc.) -Change the calendar view -Change the booking form -Cancel bookings

It allows instructors and students can easily create, share, and manage academic material through a social networking interface. It is a tool for seamless communication and collaboration among school administration, instructors, and students. Users are able to (depending on type of account i.e. teacher, student, etc.) create or join courses and groups; create or complete assignments, test and quizzes; manage grades and attendance; and analyze user statistics. ** Use: ** I see this site as an excellent tool to organize teacher workshops and training. I have created a course and will have the teachers join as students. They will be able to prepare for workshops, access resources, and have open discussions. This will be an excellent supplement to professional development. Teachers may use this in their classes as they see fit. Additionally, the groups can be used to organize clubs. Most of the teachers are members of Facebook or other social networks and have taken some online courses, so Schoology will be easy to use. Furthermore, the students who desire to have Facebook pages but yet are too young (i.e. my 10 year old sister) will be able to create profiles within Schoology. This is a safe, online network for students as it’s closely administered by the school and may encourage student learning. Top
