G Suite in the LMC
Sweet tips for using Google Apps in the Library
Got Google?
Gmail
Google Mail
Create a signature. Set up a picture of your current read.
Organize with labels. I set labels for the emails I want to keep, filing them in these labels for future reference. (Vendors, teachers, technology, etc.)
Create email filters. Filters are great for those listserv emails!
Create groups in your contacts. Use groups to add all of your teachers to a group in order to email quickly and easily.
Google Sites
Google Sheets
Google Forms and the LMC
Ideas for using forms:
- Bookclub sign up
