I have found a variety of ways to use Gmail in my classroom. It is an easy and systematic way for me stay stay in touch with students, parents and colleagues. In addition, I love how I can use the Labels in Gmail for easy retrieval and reference at later dates. I have discovered how to choose and attach automatic labels (which is a time saver, rather than having to add them every time) to both incoming and outgoing mail based on the content, sender, and the conditions that I choose. As a coordinator of a Special Education Department, this allows me to stay organized and keep important information stored efficiently. I also appreciate the fact that Google Calendar works in line with the email and calendar. I can schedule a meeting, send out invites, add attachments and agendas, and even collaborate and send reminders all with one click. Using this feature with students will be a nice way to communicate and keep them informed of upcoming assignments and resources. Holly Baird
