Embedding a Google calendar into a website is a great way to help keep your class on schedule and parents informed. The following are instructions to put your own calendar on a class website:
1. Open the Google Calendar app and click on the settings cog in the upper right hand corner and click on "Settings".
2. Click on the blue "Calendars" tab near the top.
3. Click on the blue name of the calendar you want to use under "My Calendars".
4. Scroll down to the "Embed This Calendar" section and copy the iframe code near the middle of the page.
5. Go to your web builder (where you edit your website) and embed the code into your website. I use Weebly for my webhosting so all I have to do is drag over an embed code widget and paste the iframe code into that space.
Extra Tip: If you click on the blue "Customize color, size, and other options" link just above the iframe code it gives you more advanced features and a preview of what your calendar will look like.
