Gmail has been busy updating over the summer. Here area a few of the items that you will come across.
Google Photos in Gmail: When you receive a photo in your Gmail, there will be a button which you can select to save the photo directly to Google Photos. This is great for personal accounts, but I would be careful saving photos to a Google Photos account of students. I would keep them in a folder in your Google Drive and dispose of them at the end of each year.
Gmail Advanced Search Icon: Google changed the icon for searching for email. What once was an arrow pointing down is now a new Icon.. See below
CHAT: Many of you may or may not use Google Chat in your GMAIL. It is a great way to send information quickly to teachers within your organization. Turning on Chat is in the settings and setting it up so it is on the right side makes looking at messages that much nicer within your Gmail dashboard.
