Sort your emails and download some photos

In week 4 we are revising all our email skills and downloading some email attachments into our folders.

Here is a screenshot of an email.

Can you answer the following questions:

1. What is attached to the email?
2. Who is the sender?
3. Who received the email?
4. How many TABS are open?
5. How many new emails are in the Inbox?

Here is a screenshot of the same email received at Hotmail.

• Can you see any big differences? (Clue: Tabs?)
• Where can you go back to your Contacts?
• Where can you go back to your Inbox? 

Finally, have a look at the email in Gmail.

Are there any differences in the gmail screen?

• Where are the photo attachments?
• Where can you go back to Contacts?
• Where can you go back to your Inbox?
• Are there any TABS like in Yahoo?
• How many advertisements (ads) can you see?

Emailing and Mousing

Email skills we practised this week:

• signing IN to your email account;
• checking for new emails in your INBOX;
• adding a New Contact from those that you can see in an email;
• replying to an email.

Mousing Revision: the Clicky mouse Game 

Do you want to practise again? We found the link on the CNLC Talks wiki Learning on the WEB Page:  the game is at Webwise: Computer Basics - Clicky Mouse Game. It's quite hard isn't it?

What were the rules, again?

Green ball shape: single click

Yellow cube shape: double click

Red triangular shape: draw circle around it

Has the YAHOO screen changed since Jill made this video??
