Google calendar - I'm just spending my Saturday afternoon trying to catch up on some of the CPD training. I wish I hadn't got so behind, but as many of you may know when you're on holiday not all of us think of reading our work emails. It is certainly true that 'if you don't use it you lose it'. I spent over a hour last night trying to get in, only to have to reset my password. Still, I got there in the end and completed 6 & 7.
I've read up on Google calendar and am aware of the organisational reasons for using it and the possibilities it has for personal and professional use. However, at work we use an online calendar with Microsoft outlook and it does have its uses. We are a multi-site college and it can quickly enable us to see where someone is at a glance (of course that is if we all remember to put any events, appointments etc. on that we are attending) and it usually works well.
However, I must say that for my own personal use I find it sufficient to have a diary (yes, a paper diary!) in which I write (yes, write) my own personal and work-related events, appointments etc. I unfortunately, do not have a current hi-tech mobile phone (I just pay for my daughter's and husband's Blackberrys').
