Activity 3: Webmail
Activity 3: webmail
What
for?
Given that GMail account (http://mail.google.com/mail/)
carries out the function of a door which gives access to all Google
services and, as some of these services will be used during the course,
it is essential to have a Google account, which can be obtained by
opening an email account in GMail.
What must
be done?
The email account in GMail will have the following characteristics
(these instructions are important as this activity is to be carried out
within the everyday teaching of a university):
- The student?s surname (or surnames) and his/her name (or names) must figure in the email account, separated by dots.
- Whenever possible, the GMail account will be set up in the following way: surname1.name@gmail.com all in small letters (for example, for the student Jon Urizar, his email account would be: urizar.jon@gmail.com)
- When the email account is not available in the way mentioned in point 2, the student must opt for either of these two alternatives:
- surname1.surname2.name@gmail.com all in small letters (based on the previous example, this would be: urizar.mendoza.jon@gmail.com)
- surname1.name1.name2@gmail.com all in small letters (based on the previous example, this would be: urizar.jon.manuel@gmail.com)
It will probably not be necessary but in extreme cases one may resort to the following option: surname1.surname2.name1.name2@gmail.com
What needs
to be handed in and how?
Once the GMail account has been obtained, the second part of the
activity is to send a message from it to the institutional account,
xxx.yyy@zzzz.zz of teacher,
xxx.yyy, without
forgetting to include the url in the message subject [web 2.0 HR]
