School Provided Email Accounts
Here are 3 bullets from the article that we also need to reflect upon as professionals in school. (I've adapted it slightly to focus on adults.)
We do not use school email accounts to set up accounts at other sites for personal reasons. Make sure you have a personal account for personal things. We only email people who need to know about our learning and our school work. Keep it focused on your professional work.

Citing Images via The New "Explore" Tool in Docs/Slides/Sheets
I've shared some resources about it in the past, but wanted to add one more. When Google first released the Explore tool, they took away the Research Tool, and thus, the ability to automatically cite sources in a footnote. They have since added back the ability to cite websites used via the Explore Tool, but not images.
Here's a recent post about how to properly cite images used in Docs, Slides, and Sheets that are obtained via the Explore Tool.
