Applications for Education
Changing your Google account profile image can aid with name recognition so that parents begin to put a confront with a name as soon as they start getting emails from you. They wont have to wait till the very first parent-teacher conference or open home night to make the association between your face and name.
If you have more than one teacher in your district with the very same name or comparable names (at one point there were three Mr. Burns and a Mr. Byrne in my district) trainees seeing an e-mail with your profile photo can visually verify that they are emailing the proper person.

When your school concerns you a Google Workspaces for Education account your profile image will simply be an easy letter icon including your initials. Because they do not know how simple it is to alter it, many people leave it that way only. In the video listed below I show
how to alter your Google profile image.
