First Email Assignment

As soon as you have an email account, email me at norman_buchwald@yahoo.com (Be sure to put an underscore between my first and last name!  norman_buchwald)
Write me 3 to 5 sentences (no more than a paragraph) to respond to these questions:

If you have used the Internet (World Wide Web), what did you use it for?

If you haven't used it, what can you imagine using it for?

Do you have a computer at home, or where do you usually do your computing?

Why are you taking this class?  (Note: there's nothing wrong with being honest and say "because of units," etc.  I certainly understand.)

Second Email Assignment

Once you have emailed me that message, I will answer you before the next class.  I will ask you another question or make a comment and you will use the REPLY option to respond back to me.  Make sure you include MY message in your reply.

Third Email Assignment
