Take a look at PicKATime for conference scheduling. Ours is up right now so you could look at it on our site - emanuelnl.org/school
Works great and parents love it; not free through. $50 a conference. We think it is worth it. The secretary sets it all up and teachers have access and see their own scheduled conference times.
I find youcanbook me works well for teachers setting up individual conference tmes with me for purposes of their tech growth planning throughout the year.
This is a great site to get your kids involved in some inquiry base projects involved collaboration - 21st century skills and ISTE standards. You do not have to do the legwork as it has been done for you. Just sign up and participate and expand your kids' world view!
All in one collaboration center. Group email, text, voice, meetings, conference calls, chat rooms, calendars, files, polls, and project management. Best of all, FREE!
