If you work in a school district, you probably have an email account already and are familiar with the basics. Since email software packages differ considerably, we encourage you to contact a technology coordinator in your district for assistance with email fundamentals. However, if you don't have an email account, there are numerous sites like hotmail and yahoo that let you sign up for free accounts that you can access from any Internet connection.
Tips for Sending Email Attachments
In an online course, you may sometimes submit assignments as email attachments.
Typically those attachments would be created in Microsoft Word. To ensure
that your instructor can download your attachments, it is a good idea
to paste the text of your document into the email composition window
in addition to attaching the word-processed document. That way, if your
software is not compatible, your instructor will still be able to read
the paper, albeit in a less formatted version. Keep in mind that you're
more likely to encounter compatibility problems when sending documents
from a Macintosh to a PC than vice versa.
Sending an attachment is similar for all email programs. In MS Outlook there are three steps.
1. Click the attachment icon. (Usually it is looks
like a paper clip)
2. Select the location of the file in your computer:
- select the folder where the file is located
- select the document in the folder
-
click insert
3. Verify that the attachment is included in the email.
