Tech blog 6; Guidebook

For those you who have been to Welcome Week (most likely all of you) you probably used an app called  Guidebook  It is exactly how it sounds, a guide that is used as a book. Guidebook is virtual so as long as you have a smartphone you can utilize this app. I used guidebook for Welcome Week  specifically because I am an RA on campus and we use it to keep track of what is going on during that hectic first week of campus activities. Other organizations I was a part of utilized something like guidebook as well. When I went to Denver, CO a few weeks ago we used the National Orientation Association of  Directors (NODA) version of guidebook to guide us to different sessions.

Guidebook is a scheduling/guide app that lets you add, delete and edit large events by school, community centers, museums, association, personal events, airports,conferences, campus events, or even if you're going on vacations. This app allows you to use a template when you first create an app or start from scratch. You can only make a guide by desktop/laptop. You can follow a guide from the home screen of your phone and search using a pass code that the creator has or download your app. Within the app there are many resources. Depending on what event guide you downloaded.  For the welcome week guide, they have Stockton's resources and the times they are open, events that are for guys or girls only, events at the same time so it allows the user to choose the event they want to attend and mark it in there own guidebook calendar with reminders. So whether you're prepping for a trip and you want to know what resources are located within JFK airport or you want to plan a fun scavenger hunt for your job, Guidebook is the way to go!
