Expectations/Outcomes
At the conclusion of the course, I would hope all participants have a working knowledge of Google Apps for education, plans for potential classroom implementation, and the following:
 * A Google Doc journal, one entry for each day of class. Entry to include three new things you learned and if/how these things can be implemented into the classroom.
 * One google form.
 * One google presentation.

Gmail, gmail chat, archiving, labeling, creating groups...
Labels are like folders. They allow you to group your email. You might want a folder from your principal, from WHEA.... To move mail to a folder, click the checkbox, go up to "MOVE TO" and select the folder. Email Groups - create group. To add contacts, go to your "My Contacts" click the name of the person, select the group from "MOVE TO" drop down menu. Attaching a Signature - under "SETTINGS" you can type in an email signature to attach to each email you sent, Be sure to save your changes. Creating Rules/Stars - You can add a star or a rule to incoming email by going to "SETTINGS," and add a filter. Stars draw attention to email coming in that you don't want to miss.
