Unless you are in your office glued to your Outlook, email is for things that do not require immediate attention or reply, e.g., as garland says, Canvas notifications. Snapchats and texts elevate communications to the next level of urgency, but the sender should not expect immediate action from the recipient. When truly immediate attention is needed or when an email trail already contains 5 or so messages, it is much better and easier to pick up the phone and talk. This is business 101, and students need to learn this.
