While Gmail is not my primary means of communicating, either with friends and family or with my students, I do use it as a supplemental address for different projects I work on in the community. I do use other Google features in my classroom, and I can see that using Gmail tools could enhance my productivity.
While it seems elementary to me after the video, I had never before realized that I could easily share a Drive file through the Gmail application. I can see this coming in handy with my classroom uses as I use my Drive frequently to create sharable documents with my students. I am happy to discover that these Drive files are easily shared through the Gmail app.
Another feature that I just discovered was the drop down menu for Tasks and Contacts. The contact feature will better allow me to communicate with groups that I can create in Gmail. No longer do I need to copy my addresses from my Sheet. Now I know how to create a contact group. Tasks will also allow me to create a to-do list that I can access between my computer at home, the one at work, and my smart phone. This will be a feature that I share with my very busy students.
While I have used Gmail for over 7 years now, I have never labeled my messages. I appreciate knowing how labels work so that I can have better access to the emails that arrive. I look forward to doing this in the future to make searching for past messages easier.
