Gmail in the classroom

Lynelle Bjoin
 I'm a Kindergarten teacher so I have mainly used Gmail to communicate with school staff and parents. The group feature is great, so each grade level team can communicate quickly and see each response when there isn't always time to talk face to face during the school day. Besides sending home a newsletter, I also have the parents in a Gmail group to communicate with them about things that are coming up, something their children need to bring to school, etc. I find it helpful to email individual parents during the school day. They often will email back quickly instead of trying to get a hold of them by phone later in the day. Now that I know about the translate feature, I will use it a lot to communicate with the families who don't speak English.
