Project Worksheet 1 and gmail

Today you will take your first steps into working digitally in this class. Many of you have email addresses that you use personally, but today you will sign up for an academic email through Google that you will use in this class. Follow the procedure below to sign up for your gmail account. We will be using the gmail account for blogger, google docs, picassa, and more. After you sign up for your gmail, you need to complete the first project worksheet in Word and email me your responses as a word document attachment.

Steps:

1. Go to www.gmail.com
2. Sign up for the email and provide the required information only.
3. Choose an account name that involves only your name and up to two numbers. You may use your full name, your inititals, and periods and numbers in the account. For example my academic email is mr.powhida@gmail.com
4. When you have finished signing up for the email, your first task will be be to email me your responses to questions about your project idea. These are due Thursday morning if you experience any problems signing up for your gmail account. Some of you may have to wait until tomorrow to sign-up for gmail.
5. When you click on the link, which will take you to the project worksheet, copy and paste the questions into Word. Type your answers into the word file and save it as YOURNAME_1.doc and email me the file as an attachment. Please ask for help or a demo if you do not know how to attach a file.
