Google appointment calendars allow you to create a sign-up calendar for meetings with students and community members. As other calendar invites (not appointment calendars) populate your calendar, your availability on your appointment calendar will update appropriately. Follow these steps to get started:
[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AMjytAgkIiBCajww4b2YPq2nGcuHQGYq/view Here's a link] to a video which reviews how to set up Google Calendar Appointment Slots. Each bookable slot then has a Google Meet in it, so students can book time to meet with you 1:1 during a period of remote learning. The video also shows how you might share the appointment calendar with your students, and shows what the process looks like to students.


===How appointment slots relate to regular events===
=== Create Appointment Calendar ===
Appointment slots in Google Calendar allow users to offer specific, limited hours during which they can be booked by students (or adults) with whom they have shared the link to their appointment slot web page.


When you create a block of appointment slots, the block initially shows up as a single event on your calendar. To confirm that an event is an appointment block, at the upper left corner of the event, find the Appointment block Appointment. [[File:Tiny appointment block.png|18px]]
# Create a '''''regular''''' '''''calendar event''''' on your Riverdale Google Calendar
# Click on '''''Appointment schedule'''''
# Click on '''''Create a new appointment schedule'''''
# Click on '''''Continue'''''


When someone reserves one of your appointment slots, the reserved slot shows up as an event on your calendar, and theirs.
=== Configure Appointment Calendar ===
 
# Give your appointment calendar a '''''title''''' under '''''Add title''''' (ex. ''Mr. van Mierlo's Extra Help Sign-up'')
# Set your '''''Appointment duration''''' to the desired length
# If you want this to repeat on a schedule (regardless of the 8-day rotation) choose either '''''Repeat weekly''''' or '''''Does not repeat'''''
# Click the '''''+''''' next to the appropriate day to add availability or bookable times (ex. ''1:00PM - 3:00PM)''
#* You don't need to worry about your class schedule or other meetings
#* Anything that is already booked on your calendar will NOT appear on the appointment calendar as an available time
# Click on '''Booked appointment settings'''
# If you want to add a buffer time around your appointments (ex. ''5 minutes before and after'') check the box under '''''Buffer time''''' and adjust the settings
# Change any other settings you need to, and click '''''Next'''''
# Add a descriptions in the '''''Description''''' field
# Change any other settings you need to, and click '''''Save'''''
