• See the people emailing you just like in the Gmail chat notification, with an option to show their contact photos or your assigned photos for them.
• Voice notification: If you get an email while you're busy watching a movie or cooking dinner this extension can optionally read it out loud ie. "Jason says, dinner at my place". It's great for the visually impaired.
• Option to monitor any Gmail or custom labels
• Option to run in background when Google Chrome is closed and still get new email alerts • Popup mail preview window to read, archive, mark as read or delete emails without leaving the current tab (or option to go directly to your Gmail tab)
Boomerang also helps you to postpone incoming emails, by making them disappear from your inbox into a folder or label, then bringing them back to the top of the message list at the specified time. It helps you keep your inbox clean, without losing track of important messages. Boomerang is also the only reminder service that can alert you if you do not get a reply to a message.
You Are NOT Alone
The JCHS Library is ready and able to assist with the migration to using Gmail. We offer one on one, small group and co teaching (to help your kids learn the new system) opportunities for this and all technology related interests.
We can come to your classroom or the Harvard Room can be reserved.
To book a time with the JCHS Library just follow these steps in the Lab & Resource Scheduler:
Schedule ME (NRobertson-under Library tab)
Schedule a laptop/Chromebook cart
Schedule Harvard Room (optional)
Be sure to email me as there is not a notifications feature from the Lab & Resource Scheduler when someone "reserves" me. : )
