Export to Google Calendar
It would be great to export Planbook to Google Calendar so that students have one less web site to go to and have access to their homework as well as their personnal agenda and goals.

Any update on this possible function? It would be very beneficial for the students to be able to see their lessons on Google Calendar.

Would be very useful to be able to use the meeting feature in Google Calendar while not having to reenter my classes there. Particularly good for remote teachers.

I don't want this for students, I want this feature for me!! I use both Planbook and Google calendar and need to do double the work.

So many teachers at my school would use this program if lessons could be exported to Google calendar.

This would be a great tool for schools that use Google. For those who don't think they would like the feature or that it enables their students, just don't use it. Google integrates with many other platforms that we use (Moodle or Google Classroom) so the features would be very useful for both students and teachers.

I don’t think that would be a good idea. A lot of students don’t use google calendar. Students also need to learn responsibility in creating their own and keeping track of the due dates individually.

I am undecided but leaning towards “no”. There were too many issues with Noodletools when it linked to Google, and the “Signing off Google correctly” problem as well.

No - students have Planbook and Portal for accessing everything they need to keep track of materials, discussions, and due dates. Anything else is redundant and unnecessary.

One less step! Please allow Planbook to export to the Calendar!

I think that the people who don't want this feature just shouldn't use it, if implemented.
It seems that it carries potentially far-reaching benefits for many of us, and I think it would be development time well spent by the planbook.com team!Google Calendar export (or iCal, or whatever) is a key functionality option for any program like this, given widespread use of Google Cal and smartphones.
I would use this for myself all the time - just to have as a reference point on my personal calendar on my phone/ipad, rather than switching back and forth to planbook. I would not use it for students, since we have Schoology as an LMS.

YES - Assuming, that all due dates etc would automatically move over to Google Calendar - no extra work for the teachers to enter - sounds like it would be a lot easier to keep track of what is due. Would definitely be a lot easier to manage with the all the students school activities by having everything in one place.

I say no. We already have work posted on Planbook and on Portal. Students at some point need to be responsible for actually looking at those sites to see what is due. We don't need one more place for us to put the work--it leaves the burden on us instead of the students.

No! We already post test and quiz dates in Planbook and Portal. I do not need one more piceof technology to keep up with. It will also give the students another excuse for not taking responsibility of their work and assignments. I am not sure how many students use google calendar. If they choose to do so, the act of entering due dates in the calendar is, in itself, calling attention to the fact that something is due.

Only if there's an option for tests, quizzes, projects and homework only, not classwork and resources/notes.

I fear that all of this effort to make things "easier" for students will result in the students not going specifically to the course portal page. The course portal page has other resources and links that are valuable for students and if the students skip over this because they just pull up the calendar (or planbook) then they will miss out....
