Welcome!

Greetings, SMBSD Friends!

Welcome to "All Tech-gether Now," a place for you to visit and chat about technology as it relates to teaching and learning in your classrooms. Our goal is to post a techie tidbit each week. Please let us know whether you find this space useful, and feel free to piggyback on our posts with your own technology experiences. The more we share, the more we learn; so newbies and experts alike, ask about--or tell us how--your SMARTboards, iPads, Chromebooks, PCs, laptops, smart phones (and any other fabulous technology you have) are transforming your classrooms!

We encourage you to add comments and questions to the posts you find interesting.

Gmail

Organizing your inbox.  Google knows we all have different preferences and gives us options on organizing our inbox.  Below are three different ways to set up your inbox and the way you view your  emails.
*Note you can't have all three options.  You must pick which one works best for you.   
Good Luck!
