1)First name
2)Last Name

4) Choosing a password
5) Choosing a “Security Question” and answer and
6) Word Verification
4. Tips: Your login name is also your email address. It should be
something simple that incorporates part or all of your real name.
For example Okello Stephen might choose to use: ostephen23 as
his login name.
‐Click “Check Availability” to see if your suggested login
name has already been taken by another user
‐Choose a password that you can remember
‐Make sure it is 8 characters (numbers and letters) in
length
When you have completed the form click “I accept. Create my
account” at the bottom of the page. If you have made a mistake
Google will ask you to retype the information. As soon as you click
“Create my account” Gmail will open your email inbox.
5. C. Sending and Receiving Email
Task: At least two users should sign up for a Gmail account and proceed
to send and receive emails from each other
‐First user should go to www.gmail.com and sign into their Gmail
account
After signing in, your inbox will load and eventually open. Click on the
“Compose Mail” link at the top left portion of your page.
•
• After clicking on “Compose Mail” enter the recipients email address in
the “To” box; make sure you enter the address correctly
6. • Enter a subject in the subject box; a subject is a 1‐5 word summary of
your message, for example, many people use the subject “Hello” or
“Greetings” for messages to friends
• Enter the body of your message (the main text) in the large box.
When you are finished simply click “Send” at the bottom or top of your
message screen.
Task: Other partner should open email inbox and receive messages from users.
Partner should then reply to those emails.
• Sign in to Gmail inbox following steps above
• Click on new message
7. After clicking on the new message, it will open. Simply read the message and
then click “Reply,” found at the bottom of the message
After clicking “Reply,” simply type your response and then press “Send” when
you are finished
Practical exercise: Members should practice sending and receiving email
messages to each other
9. ‐When you click on “Attach a file” a window will pop up asking you to select a
document. You must find your document by searching through the folders in
the window. Once you find you document click on it once and then click the
“Open” or “Select” button at the bottom of the popup window.
‐Once you have clicked “Open” or “Select,” your document will begin
uploading as an attachment in your Gmail message. Just be patient while it
uploads. You should spend time writing the body of your email message
while the attachment uploads.
Attachment uploading (see
progress bar)
‐When the attachment is finished uploading and you have typed your message, just
click send.
11.
You can add your own
clarifying message here
This area is the
forwarded message
(original message) that
you are passing on to
someone else
Task: User will learn how to archive (save) old messages
‐Gmail uses a tool called “Archive” to allow users to save old messages. With
Gmail, you have tons of memory space so you never have to delete a message
(unless it is junk mail, e.g., advertising or a lottery ticket scam, which should
always be deleted to prevent viruses)
‐Archiving is simple: First open your gmail account by signing in; read your
unread messages. When you are finished just click “Archive” right above the
message.
13. Task: Users will learn how to use the Gchat application within Gmail
Gchat (aka Google Chat) is a simple application that allows you to chat
instantly with other contacts you have who are also online at the same time
as you. This is preferable to email at times because you are chatting with
them in “real‐time” rather than waiting for a response back
‐Sign into your Gmail account or open your inbox if you already are signed in
‐On the left hand side of the window, near the bottom you’ll notice a box with
your name in it with a green dot next to your name; the window should be
labeled “chat”
‐You’ll have to add contacts to your Gchat list before you can chat with them;
To add a contact, click on the “Add contact” link in your Gchat window
After clicking on “Add contact” a pop up window will emerge; input the
contact email of those you would like to chat with and press “Send
Invites”
