These kids have learned many, many things in my class over the years. I'm finding that some of it doesn't carry over into their classroom. Is this because they've learned on Macs and in the class they have Chrome? I'm not sure, but I need the teachers to start holding them accountable.

This activity is for students to edit, or DOL my worksheet. You can find the copy they need to edit here. They need to make a copy for their own account to edit.

Here is a copy of what the final should look like.

UNSEND a GMAIL

Did you know you can unsend an email via Gmail? I'm totally geeked about this as I send most of my emails via my phone and quite often I am on the go. I set this up in my gmail settings and changed the time setting to 30 seconds. So helpful!

Thank you to Jim Losier for sharing!

CLICK THE SETTINGS WHEEL UNDER YOUR ACCOUNT ICON

UNDER YOUR SETTINGS CLICK LABS

UNDER THE LABS SETTING SCROLL DOWN AND FIND UNDO SEND: CLICK ENABLE

AT THE BOTTOM CHOOSE SAVE SETTINGS

And VOILA.. you now have 30 seconds to unsend and fix your problems before you send again!!

LOVE THIS TIP.
