Drowning in e-mail?

Vicki Davis (Cool Cat Teacher) provides a wealth of information to teachers, students and others with an interest in educational technology.   Recently she provided a Twitter link (http://coolcatteacher.visibli.com/share/kcrfgK) to a resource called Email Charter.  Email Charter has identified the problem of e-mail overwhelming people to the point that the time spent distracts from the more important jobs we have to do.  Working together we can reduce the amount of e-mail we need to respond to.  Email Charter provides a list of 10 Rules to Reverse the Email Spiral.

Check it out to see if you agree and are ready to take some measures to reduce the Inbox problem  many of us share.  Share it with students so they can work to solve the problem and avoid the same bursting Inbox problems we have experienced.
