Creating a GMail Account
Email is quickly becoming the most common form of communication used in the workplace, and is becoming the most common form of communication in our classroom! Because we will be using the Google Applications in class, it is essential for each of you to have a GMail account.

NOTE: Your GMail account is to be used for school purposes only! The address itself should reflect this! Make a professional email address, one that represents you as a young adult!

Your subject should be.... "Your Name" Says Hi! Inside the email, write me a short note about your experience using technology. Have you used it in class before? At home? For fun? What do you typically do on the computer?
