Calendar Thoughts

Pros & Cons for various calendars:

- Google Calendar: pretty (pro); can do groups by email invite (neut)
- 30 Boxes: integrated into pbwiki (pro); reader can see calendar w/o being able to edit it (pro); no edit history (con); having trouble getting the personal one I set up to find the pbwiki one (con)
- Plans: eh
- Scrybe: looks good (pro); has offline sync (pro); still in closed beta (con)
- Backpack: looks great, but substantial cost (con)--didn't really explore it
- Ourcal: graphics courtesy of 1998 (big con)
- CalendarHub: eh, but looks fine
- Moodle: calendar events not mutually exclusive (con); automatically would sync w/ assignment dates (pro); good for making announcements (pro)
- Yahoo Calendar: just like Yahoo mail--a little visually busy (con); about the same kind of permission settings as everyone else (neut)--no way to have admin vs. lower editor privileges where the lower editors can't change each other's events

Elliott's Plans for Day 4

- Wrap up Moodle research. Look into calendar, grade/reporting, maybe quick quiz/survey?
- Explore alternatives to some Moodle functionalities: online calendar, organizers, etc.
