Reflection of Gmail Accounts

* What are the main differences between Gmail and any email you've used before?--

I have had two other email accounts- one at school isb.rs and yahoo.com and they are very simple and are mainly only used for email contacts. However, gmail is much more diverse in it's abilities to promote 'real' conversation, information seeking, and collaboration where everything is in one place.

* What would you like to be able to do with Gmail? Responses here might inform future learning opportunities in this course.
I am not really sure what else there is that you can do with gmail. Google Talk is already amazing and especially when all students have a gmail. I use it a lot with keeping up on student assignments and understandings. I guess I would like to know more about how to incorporate Google into Moodlic. ALSO, how all students could see my calendar of assignments and how they could be emailed to all students in Gr. 6, 7, 8A instead of depending on students to look at the calendars on Moodlic.


* How could one of the tools in Gmail be used to positively impact student or teacher performance at ISB?
I believe Google Docs is a valuable tool for students to work from home and collaborate and reflect on various assignments. This way, they do not need a flashdrive, they can work from their own homes instead of meeting out of school at someones house.
