We Google-ified the Heck out of Yesterday's Department Meeting

The biology department google-ifed the heck out of our department meeting yesterday.  We used Google Meet for our virtual meeting, which all seven members attended.  Everyone received a calendar invite (with conferencing) to which we attached both an agenda for the meeting and another google doc to consider.  Within the agenda, we linked to four google docs and a google sheet that had been shared with department faculty.  I even protected the google sheet before sharing so no one inadvertently changed it, although everyone had commenting privileges.  I'd post a link here, but I'm not quite...

Oh the emails that will be sent.

I was testing out my skills as an admin on Flipgrid yesterday, and was reminded of all the emails that can/will bombard students as a result of my posting, updating, and commenting. This led me to consider the magnitude of total emails a student might receive within and between courses. How many technology platforms is enough and when does it become too much?
