Activities


Activity #1 - You've been invited to a google group for the day.  Navigate to your settings and change your profile name and adjust how you'd like to receive messages (either digest or individual messages). 

Activity #2 - Brainstorm with a colleague how you could use groups for various elements around your school?

Activity #3 - Post a message to the group.  You can do this from either the web or directly from your email (the email address for the group is: 
blue-oak-elementary@googlegroups.com)

Activity #4 - Reply to a message of a colleague and see how the group messages interact with each other and how they work with your email. 

Activity #5 (time permitting) - Create a group that you can use for the upcoming school year.
