Gmail

I can use Gmail to post a morning bulletin to staff. I had tried to individually put in e-mails but then learned how to create a contact list making it a lot more efficient to send e-mails to groups sharing the information they needed.  Contact list of elem. staff, SPED, Building Assistance Team, etc. makes it so I do not forget anybody in the group.  I am also able to connect these contact lists to my calendar so they can see when meetings are scheduled creating less conflicts.  Searching for e-mails through my Gmail account also allows me to quickly locate information from other information when needed.  I also like it when an e-mail is sent to me and I need to send another e-mail the program will remember the e-mail so I am just able to click on it instead of having to go back to look up the address.  It is a great tool to use when communicating with others.

I have always been an Apple Mail/Ical person. but the ability to link emails to Google Calendar was a gane changer too!
