I am envisioning using google calendar coordinated with classroom to announce assignments and keep students up to date on their band lesson times. If I create a band lesson calendar, I could share it with classroom teachers and students. I can use the schedule appointments option on google calendar for students to choose their own band lesson groups and pick a time, this would be great because they can schedule their own time, and it will copy the event into their own personal calendars. Having the event of their band lesson being on their own personal calendar allows them to set reminders and popups. I could also share the calendar that is created with teachers so that they could see the students' times.
Another use of the calendar would be to attach playing assignments to google calendar events. This would actually work very well with the standards based grading model that I incorporated last year. I could have playing tests scheduled for a specific day/time and attach the description of what students would need to be able to perform. As always, if students are ahead they could test out of that skill early.
