Getting Started: Day One

In order to be able to "follow" our class blog in a Feed Reader, I need to make sure you each have a "gmail" account. By having this Google account, you will be able to do a lot of really incredible things--all for free!

With this account, you will be able to log into our class blog, create your own blog, follow the blogs in a feed reader, and receive class emails.

To get started, please follow the directions below:

• Go to http://www.google.com/
  
• Once the top menu bar comes up, click on "Mail" in the upper right hand corner.
• Then see the link on the page that says "Create One For Free" at the top, center of the page. (Note, that if you already have a gmail account, you CAN use that for this class. If you don't want to use that account, then just create a new one.)
• Please use school appropriate names for your email accounts and record the password information somewhere if you think you will forget it.

You now have a Google account and can follow our class blog in a feed reader!
