1: Logging into Google Calendar. Make sure that you are logged into a Google email and log onto Google Calendar using this link, https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/week?pli=1.
2: Navigating the homepage. When you enter Google Calendar, you will automatically be on the current week. The red cursor indicates the present time, and the blue circle around the date indicates the current date.
3: Access the “months” tab. If you click on the bars on the left-hand corner of the screen, a left-hand panel will automatically appear.
4: An overview of the “months” tab. The panel showcases a calendar automatically placed on the current month. Next to the words that indicate the current month, there are two arrows to look at the previous or the current month.
5: Clicking on the “Create button” Click on the “create” button to create an event on your calendar. Once you do, a pop-up will appear on the calendar.

9: Select a new time for your event. Click on the time options next to the date. The time on the left is the starting time of your event and the time on the right is the ending time of your event. Next, click on the time that you would prefer to change. Once you do, there will be a drop-down menu allowing you to change the time of your event.
10: Typing the time of your event. Click or type in the desired time of your event. For our purposes, we’ll type in at 3:00 pm. The Google Calendar will automatically change to your selected time. Repeat steps nine and ten as needed.
