Using_Google_Pages_to_make_a_classroom_webpage.pdf

This is a small PDF which helps very new users use Google documents.  Google documents is an excellent tool for educators and students - you can edit and save documents online (and access them from anywhere).  You can also invite collaborators to help you edit your work (or have students do some good collaborative writing).

This PDF is a guide to creating other accounts in gmail.  If you have many email addresses, it can be a pain to check them nay times during the day.

If you have set up forwarding rule (a rule which forwards all your email to google), you can then reply to that email using one of your other addresses.

This is especially handy for sending emails to co-workers, friends, and shopping sites (I always use a generic email for my shopping, and keep a private email for friends).

This small pdf is a guide especially for teachers to create and manage groups on google. The advantage? you can organize groups into classes (or even parents) and easily fire off one email to a group (for example, an upcoming homework assignment or field trip).

Very handy.
