Gmailing

So here are some thoughts considering Gmail...
  • What are the main differences between Gmail and any email you've used before?
The main difference is with conversational style email. When I first started using Gmail, this was a big adjustment for me. I now have problems using email that is not conversational style. Another great feature is applying multiple labels to different emails, which is far better than
putting them in just one folder. I also like that the size of the attachment is much larger.

  • What would you like to be able to do with Gmail? Responses here might inform future learning opportunities in this course.
I would like to know all the other capabilities that I don't know about.
  • How could one of the tools in Gmail be used to positively impact student or teacher performance at ISB?
  • Students can stay better informed. Teachers can provide faster feedback to students.

  1. I like how you mentioned the labels and filters. The concept of applying meaning to a "file" is called metadata and is one of main foundations that enrich data by connecting and collecting. I use it a lot in blog posts too. When you create a post you can add labels that allow you to access, collect, and display information in new ways. We will learn more about this concept later in the course. Cheers.
