Creating Appointments in Google Calendar

Creating appointments on the shared calendars using the steps in this tutorial will prevent you from accidentally deleting/moving another's appointment.  It's actually a very similar process to how we booked calendars in GroupWise.  

Before starting the video, log in to your Gmail account through Google Chrome (NOT Internet Explorer), then click on 9-box grid near your name at the top of your Chrome browser as shown below.

In the Other Calendars section at the bottom left of your Calendar view, you will see a list of available calendars.  Make sure the delta (black triangle) is pointing down to expand your list of calendars.

The shared campus calendars are as follows.

If the desired calendar does not appear, just ask the owner to share it with you.  When you have your calendars showing, start the video & pause as needed to follow along.
