Gmail is at its roots, an online email system. However, you can do so much more than email within Gmail. You can have text chats, manage your calendar, write notes, and create to-do lists, all from one place. You can use Gmail from any computer, tablet or phone - both online and offline. G Suite for Education Gmail includes custom email addresses to match your school branding, plenty of storage, no ads, and administrative controls to allow students and staff to safely communicate - inside or outside a school domain - all for free.
