NCERT CIET Day 2 Training on Time Management with Digital Calendars and AI on October 21
New Delhi: This term at work, I’ve been reminded how many different responsibilities teachers have. Preparing the academic timetable and organizing events at school, as well as coordinating parent teacher meetings, and managing deadlines are just a few of the responsibilities teachers take care of. Digital calendars along with artificial intelligence (AI) can help with some of these responsibilities. As part of the Effective Communication: A Digital Toolkit for Educators training series, the Central Institute of Educational Technology (CIET), under the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), will be offering educators ways to improve time management and academic scheduling on October 21, 2026, according to the information shared for this update.
The session will familiarize educators with practical means to schedule their time and automatically remind them of tasks, as well as to improve their coordination with parents and colleagues. The session will be of great value to teachers and educational administrators interested in optimizing their use of digital tools to address their day to day management responsibilities at work.
What will Educators learn during the session?
The session will focus more on practical scheduling challenges faced by schools, than on time management. The following are the major challenges that will be addressed.
1. Organizing Academic Timetables and School Events
Digital calendars can be used to merge different schedules into one central location. Educators can create digital calendar entries and reminders of school activities to help their colleagues stay informed.
2. Digital Parent-Teacher Meeting Scheduling
Organizing parent-teacher meetings often involves coordinating schedules of multiple families and teachers across a number of time slots. Electronic scheduling tools can help schools share available time slots, prevent double-booking of meetings, and send out confirmation notifications. Additionally, a more structured process for scheduling meetings may help parents remember their meetings and let the school know about schedule changes.
4. Setting Automated Reminders
Teachers have many recurring time-based events, like meetings, assessments, homework and other activities. It’s easy to forget to do something or be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Useful reminders help with this.
The main objective of the session is to study how reminders can facilitate consistent planning and communication in a school.
5. AI for Agenda Creation and Time Blocking
Tasks can be prioritized using AI assistants and timed activities can be blocked out using various focused work apps. A teacher can use an AI assistant to create a first draft of an agenda for a department meeting, and, after reviewing it, share it with his/her colleagues. These aids are to help plan and organize work, and not to substitute teacher judgment and expertise.

Importance of Digital Time Management in Education
Schools can better integrate activities with digital time management. AI in planning can offer scheduling suggestions based on input, but teachers should make the ultimate decision. Digital time management offers educators ways to better synchronize activities with colleagues, remember important events with digital reminders, and better communicate with parents and colleagues. AI and other scheduling resources may ease the burden of time management.
