What the calendar looks like:

Equipment needed: Computers/laptops for students and the teacher. addresses for all students. Smart board to use to have up to show on the calendar what is due when students come into the classroom.

Age/Grade/Subject Age: The age for this would be an age at which students are more responsible for their personal academic success. The grade a teacher might start using it would be third grade when the students start to be more responsible. Subjects: This tool would be great for science, literature, history, and somewhat in math for polls.

Tools: The calendar in Wiggo would be great for placing when assignments are due and when there will be upcoming activities and what the students will need. To-do lists are great for students to be able to work at their own pace and get things done and turned in on time. Sending , text or voice message would be a great tool to use to remind students and to only have to send out one at a time and have one place to look at all information sent out to each class group.

Tools Continued: Being able to share calendars and manage events for each individual class helps. Each team, when working in teams, could add their own events as well. Polling class in real time: this could be used for science classes or math classes to look at the results for their own class very quickly. Upload and manage shared files and folder: this would allow teachers to have assignments on the page for when a student is absent, they could print it at home.
