Organize Your Studies with Online Calendars
Aug 27th, 2007
With the fall semester starting soon, I've been on the lookout for a free calendar program.
I want something that will help me organize my day, will accept multiple daily tasks (without having to schedule those tasks at a particular time of day), and will be accessible online. I haven't found my ideal program yet, but there are several free calendar programs that come close.
If you're also looking for a way to manage your online class assignments, try one of these:
Google Calendar – It's easy to use and can be accessed with your existing Google account. Quick add lets you add events with a single click, and you can display the calendar on your desktop.
Yahoo Calendar – The ads are a bit annoying, but Yahoo calendar offers a lot of features. Access it from your Yahoo mail, then create a task list or share events with peers.
iCal – For Mac users, iCal is full of useful features. You can subscribe to public calendars (SAT dates, anyone?), access your calendar from mobile phones, and create group calendars with colleagues.
Microsoft Calendar – For traditional PC users, Windows Calendar offers an alternative. It lets you send invites to contacts on your email list, create task lists, and subscribe to public calendars.
Of course, sometimes a plain old printable calendar is the easiest to use. printable calendars don't come with all the bells and whistles, but at least you'll be able to complete your reading assignments (by candle light) in case of a power outage.
