Google Groups

Communication is so important for getting things done, and keeping everyone happy and feeling included. Creating a Google group allows everyone to stay in the loop - essentially an automatic reply all. Group members can adjust their settings to avoid 'spam syndrome'. Really good for sharing settings and keeping everything seamless.

I want to set up a group for my lead teachers, and think that it could be helpful to create a forum for teachers in 1:1 classes. First I need to get admin settings changed to allow Google groups for business.

A question I am left with is, how do we make sure that we are communicating effectively and efficiently? Are there rules of thumb about when we have a 1:1 private communication and when we need everyone to know? Where is the balance between inclusion and overload?
