(8. Search within a specific website)
This feature makes Google searches much
faster and more effective! Instead of going
to a site and looking there, you can get
results directly from a particular site. (I.e.
Michael Jordan on Wikipedia can be
accessed by searching site:wikipedia.org
Michael Jordan instead of going to the site
separately or finding Wikipedia from the
search results.)

(9. Search a specific file type)
Wow! Typing filetype:pdf or filetype:jpg (and
many more) works to search a term with a
specific file type. If you don't want the
information about a song but instead to find
where you can download the song file
directly, filetype:mp3 [title] will make your
search much faster and more efficient.

(12. Find a term in a URL)
When researching a topic but only wanting
results from a particular year, typing
inurl:2009 [search term] will bring up only
sites whose URLs have that particular year in
them. Your results are immediately
narrowed down and made more relevant to
your search!

(66. Never get lost again with Google Maps
Mobile)
I use Google Maps on my iPhone frequently
and definitely agree with this feature! It
allows you to enter "Current Location" when
you don't need to type out your entire
address or aren't sure where you are but
need to find a restaurant nearby, etc. It's
definitely useful!

(64. Read your gGoogle Docs)
Having access to Google Docs on my iPhone
and iPad is really convenient. If I want to
double-check something or show a colleague
a presentation, or an idea, I can do so
immediately without having to be physically
at a computer. Plus, since we can edit,
ongoing to-do lists between colleagues can
be edited, added to, or commented on at
any time so that they're always updated!

(43. Add a "Waiting for Response" label")
Adding custom labels and then the idea of
making one a 'Waiting for Response' one is
very helpful. That way, at the end of the
week or whenever is convenient, you can
verify which you've heard back from, which
you haven't, etc. and follow up accordingly.
Between work, friends, school, it can be
easy to send emails out into the universe
and forget you're waiting for a response, and
this prevents that.

(69. Post to your blog)
Being able to blog post from a mobile device is
very helpful, especially if you use a Blogger
page (through Google) for your students. It's
free and the blog feature is great if they
have any questions or just want to comment
something friendly. Being able to update it
on the go is very convenient, especially for
reminders and quick updates.

(35. Use the Tasks as a to-do list)
Choosing Tasks instead of Mail and then using
it as a running to-do list is much like the
Chrome extension Add.DO. It's very
convenient, fast, and easy, and keeps your
tasks in one place! Whichever system works
best, Google definitely offers options that
are convenient to keep track of what you
need to do in a place you'll already be, your
e-mail.

(45. Consolidate email accounts)
I use this feature and would not be able to
manage and organize my email without it!
Between work, personal, and APSU email, all
the accounts coming to one address is a
lifesaver! I never have to worry that I forgot
to check my email or might have missed
something when they are all in the same
place. It's extremely convenient!

(38. Never forget to attach a file)
This feature has saved me several very
important times where I've written,
"Attached is ____," and then forgot to attach
it. Before it sends it asks you, "You've
written 'I've attached ___' but nothing is
attached; would you like to attach it now?"
Awesome!! It cuts down on saving face and
having to send that follow-up "Oops" email
with the attachment.
