Task 16: How To Become a Member of a Wiki on Wikispaces

This year, we will be using Wikispaces as our homebase for all of the technology stuff we will be doing in class! In order to contribute to our site, you will need to become a member of our class wiki.

Please go to our class website: http://msspiezio11.wikispaces.com

And follow the directions in the video below!

BE SURE your user name has an identifier in it! Your first name, last name, initials MUST BE IN YOUR USER NAME!

Become a member by Friday to earn your points for this week!

Task 15: 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!

This week, you will be creating your own GMail account. To earn points for this Techy Tuesday task, you must send me an email from your new account by FRIDAY!

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?

Don't forget! It's due by Friday!

Enjoy your Techy Tuesday!

Task 6: E-Mail Attachment

Knowing how to send an email with an attachment is no longer an option; it is a necessity!

For this week's Techy Tuesday, watch the video below to learn how to add an attachment to an email. Be sure to include not only the attachment, but also a brief description of what you have attached using proper netiquette described in last week's task.

Your attachment requirement corresponds to your class:

Ms. Spiezio's 7th Grade: Attach a descriptive piece you have been working on in your Writer's Notebook

Ms. Spiezio's 6th Grade: Attach one of your Milestone Moments you have been working on in class this week

Mr. Poole's Class: Attach one of your Milestone Moments you have been working on in class this week
