Creating groups in your gmail contacts is an easy way to send emails to an entire teaching team, class of students, or group of parents. Having groups created makes sharing docs easier when using google docs. Here's how to do it:
Click the arrow next to Mail in the corner of your gmail window. Select Contacts.
Select New Group and give it a name.
To add new contacts, (ex: parent emails) click the name of the group, then New Contact. You will see a new window to add their contact information.
To add someone to a group who is already in your contacts, find their name in your contacts list. Click the group icon near the top and select the group you want the contact to be added to.
To send mail to a group, click Compose, then begin typing the name of the group in the recipient window. The full group name should appear in drop down menu. Select it, and the names of the group members will appear in the recipient window.
