Google Calendar Cleanup

Google Calendar - Rein in that list!

This is a great time of year to clean up your dropdown list of Google Calendars and recommend this back-to-school cleanup to your students as well. Watch the video below to view how you can quickly clean up your list of Google Calendars and start fresh with a list of only what you want to see. 

Making Gmail & Google Calendar Your Defaults

Now that we're working and communicating in a Google environment, you want to ensure Gmail and Google Calendar are set to be your default email and calendar systems while working on the web in any browser. 

To ensure this is the case:

1.  Open up both the Gmail and Google Calendar apps.  

2.  In the white search bar (on the right next to the bookmarking star), look for two overlapping gray diamonds in both Gmail & Google Calendar.  

3.  If you see them, click on the two diamonds, and select Allow. This sets Gmail and Google Calendar to be your defaults.  

4.  If you don't see two gray diamonds in Gmail or Google Calendar, then you have already set them to be your default email and calendar systems, and you don't need to do anything else.
