GMAIL for Education Purposes

Steve Bossenberger
Our school has integrated with Google over the past two years.  Our email accounts are Gmail accounts.  I love it!  It is so easy to navigate and organize.  

Anytime I get an email from a parent, I can put them into a folder either by class and section or by student name.  

It is also very easy to communicate with other teachers and administrators.  We are a big district and many times, I am not sure of emails, but if I start typing the name of the person I wish to contact, the email usually pops up.

I have also used Gmail to receive assignments and have it tied into my Google Voice account.  As a Spanish teacher, I have students call my Google Voice Mailbox and leave messages in the target language.  A copy is sent to my Gmail.
