Using Gmail

benndaim
I use Gmail for a variety to things in my classroom, but honestly need to find ways to use it more efficiently.  I now understand how to filter emails to when students send in assignments via email, I can have them filtered into the correct class folder.  That will help with sifting through emails looking for assignments.  I do have students turn in both formative and summative assessments through email.  It is nice to see when they submit, and it allows for me to keep a digital copy of what they did.  We are 1:1 in my district, so it is nice to be able to communicate with students in a mass format through groups/contacts.  I also communicate with parents in this manner.  Parents have also realized that the easiest and most efficient way to contact me is through email and I can again keep a digital record of our communication.  If a parent or student has a question that the rest of the group might be able to benefit from I can reply to all the members of the group instead of individualized emails.  Also, if I need to contact all staff the groupings allow for that to happen easily.  I would like to use the to-do lists and calendar reminders more.
