E-Mail Use

Activities

Send yourself an e-mail.

Use Netscape Messenger to send yourself an e-mail. To do this, simply insert your own e-mail address in the TO: field of the message. Wait a few minutes. Check your e-mail and read the message you sent to yourself.

Choose an e-mail partner

Choose someone in your homeroom to be your e-mail partner.  This person can be sitting next to you or across the room.  Write down their e-mail address.  Send an e-mail to your partner.  Once you have received and read the message they sent you, reply to their e-mail. 

*Ongoing activity:  The best way to become adept at anything is to practice.  E-mail will become easier over time if you continue to e-mail daily with your partner.
