#2 Getting a Web-based Email
Account Gmail
Getting
a Free Web-based Email Account -
Use gmail from Google for this. We will be using Google
for
other purposes and it is necessary to have this account.
You should review and
compare other free Internet email providers. I've included
a directory of free eMail providers (the link) and some popular
and recommended sites (the chart of links) below.
Please review several
and but then choose Google gmail. Follow the direction at
that website to sign up for a free email account and to get
an email address (email name) for class use.
Once you have established an email account, fill it in on this form
below in #2. Make a note of it for yourself (in writing)
very carefully--capitals must capitalized; lowercase has to be lowercase.
