Comments from those who selected Google
Calendar as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
"a fantastic
time-management tool and it's available everywhere"
Bill Miller
"is the tool I used for my personal
calendar. I can access my calendar wherever I am and
many applications, such as the Mozilla Calendar
extension, even allow to integrate your Google Calendar
into other tools"
Guy Boulet
"Google provides many tools (Calendar,
Notebook, Scholar, etc.) that help me keep on track
through my day and week. It is difficult to point
out one of the tools above the other. Many are quite
useful. Nevertheless, for the purpose of my top ten
tools, I would choose
Calendar as one of them"
John Shaffer
"for keeping my several different lives
in order, for being able to share them"
Michelle
Gallen
"where would I be without
Google Calendar and
it's mobile alerts?"
Nick Hood
"One of the
main reasons I like Google Calendar is that it was easy
to embed into my website. I put all the student
assignments and other events on the calendar. Color
coding allows a quick visual cue so that students (and
parents) can easily distinguish scheduled quizzes and
tests, daily assignments, and other events. "
Don Simmons
"Managing
a number of calendars in one without sharing was a pain
before Google Calendars. Now I can share parts of
a calendar with some, keep some private and we can all
be on the same page." Kevin Jones
" Invaluable for
recording my own project-management information as well
as sharing availability info to a wider audience. It
also integrates with other Google Docs and even sends
reminders (free) via SMS. I use Google Calendar to track
my own time-on-task as well as give to work colleagues
so they will see my availability."

"Google
Calendar is my diary and lesson planner. Syncs with
iCal as well - great!"
Richard
Allaway
"A
free way for us to organise our schedules, we share our
timetables among teachers and students to make the
lesson timetabling clear."

Comments from those who selected Google
Calendar as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007
"I do not exploit it as much as I
could, and I've yet to work out if my privacy concerns
are real or notional."
Seb Schmoller
"both for myself and with
versions for various team projects."
Michele
Martin
"If it's not in my calendar, I'll
forget about it. Google Calendar allows me to
keep my life in order - I make a note in my
calendar, then I can think about more pressing
matters. When the time comes - be it a project I
want to work on or a scheduled event, Google
Calendar emails me the scoop. I started using
Yahoo Calendar in 1998 and switched to Google
Calendar shortly after it was launched in 2006 -
and imported all my archives, of course."
