Our students have been utilizing Google Apps for Education for several years. Until the start of this year, it has been leveraged for collaborative tools like Google Docs. This year we decided to enable a limited email service for middle school students to coordinate with the launch of 1:1. It was expected to be a possible channel to communicate with a student or an entire class. We did not realize what an essential tool it would prove to be. Teachers are frequently sending homework or project updates to the class list. In some cases, homework assignments have been distributed and collected by email. Teachers have appreciated the ease of communication that it provides. Students have also taken advantage. They can easily get clarification on grades or assignments from their device. Like the wired keyboards, email has been one of the simple things that have made 1:1 successful.
