 * INTRODUCTION: **

Doodle is a resource that can be used without having to register an account, so anyone can seamlessly make use of it. In order to incorporate Doodle into the classroom, all one needs to do is create an event with a range of dates and times. Afterward, all the creator of the page needs to do is give the URL of the event to the rest of the students, and each individual student can type his or her name into the event and select which dates and times work best. For example:

Doodle automatically creates a visual representation of each participant and his or her preferred times, so it is easy for one to take a quick glance at the chart and see which times are best in order to maximize happiness for everyone. At the very least, Doodle allows one to see when members can unanimously attend an event or meeting.
