	Google Forms update
Google Forms has been updated to a new version. You can share your form and collaborate with others on the form at the same time, just like you can with Google Documents, Presentations, and Spreadsheets. Forms can now be tied to either a new Spreadsheet, a new sheet in an existing Spreadsheet, or keep responses only in the form. For more information, please see Google's documentation about the new Forms. Note: If you want to use the FormEmailer script, save the form to a new Spreadsheet.

	Gmail inbox categories (coming soon!)
	A new Gmail inbox option that's coming soon will help keep different types of emails organized and quickly accessible. It can split up your inbox into up to five tabs: Primary, Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums. You can choose just a few or all of these categories. This feature is being rolled out on Google's servers now and will be available on Google Apps for Education accounts soon.

	Hangouts replacing Google Chat and Talk (coming soon!)
Google Hangouts combines text, photos and live video calls into one easy to use system. Hangouts are a replacement for Google Chat and Talk that you see in Gmail and on Google+. Right now you can create Hangouts through your Google+ account, but we are also investigating switching the Chat and Talk in Apps for Education accounts over to Hangouts so you'll be able to start Hangouts right from Gmail.
