Tech Tidbits: YouCanBook.Me

This Tech Tidbits video is a good companion piece to my previous video, which demonstrated the use of HashTagToDo. This video demonstrates the use of
YouCanBook.me, which syncs with your online calendar (in this case I will be using Google Calendar) in order to allow others to sign up for an appointment time with you according to the time frame you set.  This site could be used to enable parents to sign up for parent/teacher conferences on a certain date at a certain time, with the time allotment that you designate. This site could also be used for co-workers to book an appointment to meet with you according to your work schedule.


 

Once you create your account using your WCPSS e-mail account, you can choose a unique URL address that will can be posted and shared for others to access in order to book an appointment with you.  In the settings for your account you can choose the blocks of time each day of the week that you are available for appointments.  You can choose the day that the availability starts, as well as when it ends.  You can choose to include or exclude weekends.  You can even choose how far in advance visitors can book appointments with you. The site offers video tutorials as well as an FAQ section if there are options that you aren't sure how to select.  If you use online calendars (such as Google Calendar) and might have the need to offer an appointment calendar function to others, YouCanBook.me might be what you are looking for!
