Gmail in the Classroom

Although I am not currently in the classroom, I think it is important to have students active with using the google apps that are available to many school districts. Having taught in elementary classrooms before, I feel it would benefit teachers and students to have students use the Gmail account to use for journal entries and writing assignments. This would allow students to write when they would like to in gmail and teachers would not need to constantly be taking notebooks home to look at students writings.

This would be an awesome way to save my paper load to and from school.  It would be awesome to create an online science journal so students could easily share their writings, labs, current events, projects etc. I am all for going paperless and saving trees! :-)
