Welcome to Digital Portfolio

Today, your first assignment is to sign up for an academic email address. This will be the email address you use to communicate with me, sign up for a blog, create documents, create an online photo library and more. You can continue to use your social email addresses, 'kingofflatbush' and 'skittlz09', all you want, but it's time to start getting ready for college and work.

Go to www.gmail. com and follow the instructions to sign up for an email address. Use your first and last name followed by a number or any series of between two and four numbers. If you are lucky, you might be able to get your full name, middle initial and last name without any numbers. Your chosen user name should look like first.last1 or first.m.last

When you have signed up for an email address, your second task is to create a sample Word document and copy and paste the following text into the body of the document:

This is a very easy assignment, but I proved I can do it!

Save the document as sample1.doc and attach it to your first email to me. Send it to mr.powhida@gmail.com

When you are finished we will take a look at some of the features of gmail.
