Students demonstrated mastery of 2 important tools this week: school email accounts and the student homepage.

As part of our conversations about email, we discussed:

  • The difference between To, CC & BCC
  • Accessing the school’s email address book
  • How to check email address correctness
  • The difference between the email interface in Internet Explorer & Firefox
  • Appropriate use of email
    • SPAM – any email received that is unwanted (this can include emails from someone you know!)
    • Sarcasm in email – It doesn’t work well

Some terms we’ve learned about this week:

Synchronous/Asynchronous – different purposes of various communication methods
Nonverbal communication – how nonverbal communication alters a message’s meaning
Intranet – we visited the main server for the school
