One calendar to rule them all: Syncing Schoology Calendar and Google Calendar and iPad Calendar

Yes, you CAN share your Schoology Calendar with Google Calendar……AND with the built-in Calendar on the iPad…… AND you can share your Google Calendar or iPad Calendar with your Schoology Calendar. Essentially you need to get the iCal link from one and add it to the other. Details are below.

Which route to choose? Decide which calendar you would like to spend the most time in, and link the others to it.

WHY do this? You will have ONE place to check for calendar items, instead of two or three. It really is handy to have your Schoology due dates pop up in your iPad calendar.
