Once you have shared your academic calendar, you will need to inform people how to access the calendar. 

There are three ways that people can view your academic calendar:

1. In Google Calendar as an 'Other Calendar' - requires calendar address.
2. As an HTML web page - requires calendar address.
3. Embedded in a class website with Google Sites - can use but does not require calendar address.

A 'Calendar Address' is the public address for your calendar. When you make your calendar public, others can view it in one of these formats:

• For those who use Google Calendar, iCal, or a feed reader - XML or iCalendar - People can view a read-only version of your calendar from other applications. They can use this address to subscribe to your calendar feed in Google Calendar (if they use Google Calendar), access your calendar from feed readers (like Google Reader) as well as products that support the iCalendar format (like Apple's iCal). 
• For everyone: HTML - Others can view a read-only version of your calendar without signing in to Google Calendar, by accessing it directly in their browser window. With your calendar HTML address, your calendar acts as a webpage and behaves as any other webpage on the internet, with a URL that can be bookmarked.

To find your calendar's address in the HTML, XML, or iCalendar format, follow these steps:

1. In the calendar list on the left, click the down-arrow next to a calendar and select Calendar settings. (Alternatively, click Settings at the bottom of the calendar list, then click the name of the appropriate calendar.)
   
2. In the Calendar Address section, click the HTML icon (or the XML or iCalendar icon, depending on what you want). You'll see a pop-up window with your calendar's public URL.
   
3. Copy this URL. This URL can be used to access your calendar information
4. Paste and share this URL with anyone who may not use Google Calendar. You can paste the link into a class newsletter for parents to access, or add it to your website.

You can now send students, parents, and other teachers the calendar address for your class calendar and they can either add it to Google Calendar or they can bookmark it as an HTMl web page.

To embed your calendar on a page in Google Sites, follow these steps:

1. Click on Edit page button to enter the Google Sites page editor.
   
2. Click on Insert and select Calendar.
   
3. Select the Calendar that you want from the list of your calendars.
4. Click the Select button.
   
5. Choose the customize options you want for your Calendar and click Save.  
   
6. When you're finished editing your page, click the Save button and your Calendar will appear.
