Week 1: Gmail and Hotmail

What is a gmail:

Gmail is a free, search-based email (Web mail) service, which is accessible from a web browser anywhere in the world so long as an internet connection is present.

Task: Create Gmail and Hotmail Accounts.

          Gmail with contacts and group contact list

What is Hotmail?  
Hotmail is one of the most popular free online email services, provided by Microsoft.

The challenges I faced while completing the tasks are:

1.  I was unable to connect to hot-mail so I had to go through the outlook account set up.
2.  It was a bit difficult setting up the contact list in hot-mail because the account name was to be            created and then import the names into the account.
3.  The cellphone was unable to register the account so I was forced to complete the assignment om          the computer.

What was learnt.
During week one, I learnt some key measures in utilizing the computer some of which includes creating a contact list and account.  I also learnt that doing this is effective in order to share information with members of the group


How I will use this in the class room:  Using Hotmail is a way to allow teachers to access their work easily.
