<h3>Google Calendar Integration into Classroom</h3>

Google Calendar is now fully integrated into Google Classroom. It provides a sleek and streamlined way for your students to manage assignment due dates right in Google Classroom as well as from their Calendar App!

Now in Google Classroom you have an option for "Calendar." You can get to this by clicking on the "Hot Dogs" (Three horizontal lines) in the upper left of your classroom home, or from the "Hot Dogs" inside your class.



Once in your Calendar you will see assignment due dates for the various classes that you teach or are enrolled. You can click on the assignment to navigate to it. As an instructor it takes you to the grading view. Here you can view who has completed the assignment and add comments and grades just like you would from the assignment in the stream. Your students will see the assignment details and be able to complete the assignment right from their calendar.



Your Google Calendar is automatically linked in the "About" tab of your Google Classroom. It is possible that your Google Calendar is grayed out it is because the link has not been created between the google apps. Once you post an announcement or an assignment to your class it will become live.

You can also manage your Google Classroom Calendar right from your Google Calendar. Many of you want to be able to provide parent access to your Google Classroom for checking assignments. You can now share out your calendar with parents and they can view up and coming assignments. You can also add school events or important dates to this calendar for parents to view. If you add events here they do not show up on the Google Classroom side yet.

Once your Google Calendar is public you can then now get a link to your Google Calendar or embed it with the code provided. If your settings closed, click on the arrow again and choose "Calendar Settings."
