Points: 10 points

Hi Everyone,

Surprise! The URL for the blog has changed and so has your teacher! I'm Ms. Kris (which is short for Ms. Kristin) and we will be working together in ICT from now on. I'm very excited for all the fun things we're going to learn!

We're still working on getting our email set up on Microsoft Outlook. Follow these directions:

1. Make sure you on the computer under your own username (if it's someone else' account, then they will be able to read your email!)
2. Open Outlook.
3. Create a new email account.
4. Enter your name in the English order (given then surname [e.g. Huy Nguyen, not Nguyen Huy]).
5. Enter your email address/password.  You'll be asked later for your username.  Your username is your full email address.
6. Click "Next"
7. You might be asked to enter your user/password again.
8. Outlook should synchronize your email/contacts/calendars now. It may take a minute.
9. Now click "New" to create a new email.
10. Click "To" to find the Global Address Book.
11. Enter "Kristin" to find me!
12. Double click my name and click "OK" to email me.
13. Your subject should be "______'s Assignment 11." 
14. Your message should include:
1. Three sentences that introduce who you are to me. 
2. If you have a photo of yourself, please attach it to the email.
3. The URL of the blog that you started with Mr. Tom.
15. Send the message.
16. When you finish, please play with the functions of MS Outlook and explore its features.  We will use some of them next week when we continue to learn about calendars and contacts.

My email address is kristin.romberg@saigonsouth.sis.edu.vn just in case the Global Address Book isn't working.

Assignment 10 - Setting Up MS Exchange

Assigned: Nov. 17, 2011
Due: Nov. 18, 2011
Points: 10 points

Hi Everyone,

For this assignment you'll be working  with email again.  You're going to be doing a cool service from Microsoft called "Exchange".  Exchange's idea is that we take something technical (called POP3) that lets us download our email from multiple accounts, and it makes it more simple.  Exchange also can synchronize your email, contacts, and calendars.  It's really useful!

1. Make sure you on the computer under your own username (if it's someone else' account, then they will be able to read your email!)
2. Open Outlook.
3. Create a new email account.
4. Enter your name in the English order (given then surname [e.g. Huy Nguyen, not Nguyen Huy]).
5. Enter your email address/password.  You'll be asked later for your username.  Your username is your full email address.
6. Click "Next"
7. You might be asked to enter your user/pass again.
8. Outlook should synchronize your email/contacts/calendars now.
9. Now click "New" to create a new email.
10. Click "To" to find the Global Address Book.
11. Enter "Tom" to find me!
12. Double click my name and click "OK" to email me.
13. Your subject should be "______'s Assignment 10" and your message should say 3 sentences about what you intend to do during the Christmas holidays.
14. When you finish, please play with the functions of MS Outlook and explore its features.  We will use it next week to learn about calendars and contacts.

Hi Everyone, 


Today we are going to log into our new school email addresses. Whilst we previously have set-up "Gmail" email accounts, the school has decided to run with the Microsoft Windows version. 


Your Teacher has your email addresses with them so they can advise you of your address if you are unaware. 

1. Go to "login.live.com"
2. Log into your email account. 
3. Search the global address book (you should see an icon that looks like a open book).
4. Add your teacher and any friends to your contacts list and to chat list (IM).
5. Send your teacher and friends an email to make sure the system works. 
6. Create a public profile for others to view.
7. Have a play with the system and become familiar with its functions.
