I am taking this course to renew my teaching license.  I have implemented the use of labels and filters to separate my incoming messages into categories.  I created a Tuesday pm group, Thursday am group, a board of directors group, friends, and family group.  I color coded labels.  I further developed my contact lists by adding addresses, birthdays, and phone numbers.  From there I was able to develop distribution lists to increase efficiency when sending communications.  

I can see applying this in the classroom by sending out a weekly newsletter(increase efficiency by using distribution lists),  a spelling list, a reminder of those responsible for party treats.  I could communicate with a student away from the classroom for an extended period of time due to illness or accident using Chat.  There would be great possibilities for using google with penpals.
