I have set up 3 different collaborative calendars for my school to control resources- laptop cart, graphic design lab and PC lab. These are set up as resources on our Google calendar. Essentially one just adds an event, invites the "resource" to it and if the room or resource is available, it turns up in the guest list and is not available for others at that time.
I also use google spreadsheets to set up parent teacher conference signups for our school. This entails making a spreadsheet for each teacher with blocks of time to choose from, sharing these and putting the links on a blog for access. The only drawback with this is an occasional mistake when a parent overwrites another.
I also have schedule once set up for our google apps domain, but it is rarely used. I set up appointment slots on Google Calendar and shared this with all faculty for summer PD and 1:1 help. This was easy and it worked. Although appointment slots are being dropped, edu accounts will still have them.
I'm looking forward to learning more about timebridge and beginning to use this resource.
