Doodle- Easy Group Scheduling tool

Doodle is a great web application. It is a tool for scheduling meetings. If you are planning a meeting with different people and you don't want to impose your opinion on them as for the timing of that meeting then use Doodle to make a poll and invite your group members to vote for an appropriate time when they can all meet. It offers a democratic way for scheduling meetings. I like this application and i know we can benefit from it in education and that’s why i am suggesting it to you here.




Some features of Doodle

Here are the main features that Doodle offers to its users
  • It is partly free , there are some features that are premium but the free services are enough for us in education

  • It does not require a sign up but still having an account there is the best way to benefit from its features.

  • It allows you to schedule events and make choices

  • You can use the”meet me” feature to let your friends and colleagues know when you are available

  • You can share your scheduled events with your contact on Doodle
