Creating a Filter in Gmail

Gmail has lots of neat features but today we're just going to look at one: Filters!  Filters are great because they help keep your inbox organized.  Filters will apply a label directly to an email the moment it arrives if you tell it to.  Today we will be setting up a filter for the Teacher Tech Tidbit Emails I will be sending every Tuesday!

Step 1: Log into your Gmail
Step 2: Click on the small gray triangle in the search box.



Step 3: A drop down will appear as see below.

In the image above are some arrows and details to help you fill in the box.  Once it is all filled in click on on Create filter with this search. (below the purple arrow).

Step 4: You should get a pop up like this one:
Click on OK.

Step 5: Select Apply the label; then pick the Teacher Tech Tidbit label from the dropdown. Then press Create Filter.





If you followed these steps carefully you should see this: 
appear on your main email screen.



Here is a little bit more from Google about Filters if you're interesed.
