Gmail!

Finally, everyone in Room 18 has a Gmail account! If they would like to, and are allowed, they are very welcome to sign in at home and have a look around. You might like to have a look too! Thank you Sophie, for letting me use your account as an example. You can see that their gmail address is their name followed by the first letter of their surname. Then they need to put in their password. I have a list of their passwords if they forget. It won't take them too long to remember.

Once they are logged in they can have a look at their inbox and delete the first few emails that come in when you set up as new account. They could try sending an email, to a friend, family member or me, if they like. 

At the top right hand part of the screen are 9 small squares. If they click on these, they can click on their Drive.

This is where they where they will find the tasks that I set them on Hapara, and also where they can create their own documents. They can do any work they like at home, but I will only be able to see it, if it is in one of the three folders.

If they open the inquiry folder, they will find the first task. It is very simple, but should give them a chance to get used to the Drive. This is not homework, but they are welcome to do it at home, if they wish. No pressure!!!!!
