This week, since our focus is collaboration, I though I would post a website that might come in handy if you are trying to set up a meeting with a group of people such as your school's English department. The website is called Doodle. This site is free and super easy to use. Basically, this site allows you to create an event, select date/time options, and send an email relaying the information to the event participants. The participants then vote on the time slots that work best for them. After they have voted, you can view a chart that highlights the best time for everyone. From there, you send one more email to your participants letting them know what date/time the meeting will take place. The best part is that all of this decision making can occur with only 2 emails! Other nice features include no required login, linking capability with other types of online calendars (i.e. Google Calendar), and mobile access (iPhone, etc.).
Check out this page for a short video on exactly how to use the site. Enjoy!
