I have been using gmail for a couple of weeks to send out hold notices in the library. This is working out wonderfully. It is immediate, eliminates paper usage, and I am able to reach students who don't have a common study hall time. In the past I had a difficult time getting a hold of students because if they had band and choir they were not in their homeroom. The gmail method is much more efficient.
I also have sent the students a link to a reading interest survey via gmail. So far this has been very successful. It is giving me a very good understanding of what the students enjoy reading and how often they read outside of school. I also plan on using this tool to drive my ebook purchasing.
