awesome Gmail Tips : Gmail as you have never known it before

Gmail is one of the most trusted mail services online. No wonder it is a product from Google , the unrivaled internet guru. I know almost all of you have a Gmail account but those of you who still do not have one then i highly advise you to do so. From my own experience as a long term edublogger, i can definitely confirm that Gmail is indispensable for you as educators. It far excels other mail services in terms of storage capacity, privacy settings, and security. AOL and Yahoo also offer good mailing services but they do not live up to Gmail ones. I am not trying to do a pub for Google or any other kind of commercial promotion for i am not a Google employee and nothing relates me to Google except being a faithful user of almost all its product.
Today i am going to share with you  some tips about how to better  use Gmail. There are many features and services that Gmail offers for free yet only few people know about them and use them. Being educators, we do need to be aware of these freebies. They can save you so much time and make your electronic mailing experience  way better than you have ever thought. believe me when you read and apply those tips you would just sit back and wonder how on earth i missed all of these things all this time !!!. But it is never too late to discover and there is always somebody to do the painstaking search for the info and in this case it was me who did it for you lol.
