Description

 A web application where users can share important events and class notes with each otherUsers can:

  • Create a ‘Pool’ and invite users to their ‘Pool’
  • Create events and share them with other users within that ‘Pool’
    • Ex: Ivan invited Robert to join a pool called ‘Pick-up Soccer Matches’
    • Robert and Ivan can both create events and share them with each other.  Events shared will show up on their respective Google Calendars
  • Received daily/weekly/monthly event notifications through their Gmail accounts
  • Link Google map images to their event location
  • Synchronize events created on Class-space to their Gmail Calendars
  • Add notes to events, similar to Google documents.  (Live multi-user collaboration)
