setting up a gmail account

so now that all of that ‘legal’ mumbo-jumbo is out of the way, it is time to create a gmail account. follow the screenflow tutorial below.

my suggestion is that you watch it through once, then, on the re-run, follow the directions. remember that you can just pause/rewind as needed.

after this step, you will be setting up an iGoogle page and some helpful and important-to-know gadgets. so be patient, and just focus on the task at hand before moving on to bigger and better things.

  4. "...In case you totally blow it". -Meringolo. Hahahahaha. That was funny.
    Anyway, I though the video was very helpful and detailed, and a good step-by-step presentation. It had sound and a visual and that's really all that's needed, so I don't have a suggestion on how to make it better.

  5. The video was very detailed and helpful and I appreciate the step by step process and knowing if someone is to miss something, they can rewind the video to a part they missed. No suggestions to make it better, just appreciate the visuals and sound like Rachele said.

  13. as for the instructions, it's detailed and not very confusing at all. it's a good tutorial.
    other then that, i feel like maybe a bit of quiet background music might help it seem not so dull?

  17. The information was well presented, although I had a hard time seeing what you were you doin, maybe zooming in certain sections would be splendid.

  18. Great set-up video. My suggestion is to specify that the number after the la is the block number. Students may be confused by the term "section number."

  19. Wow. This was amazing. I wish there was a video for how to post a comment because this is my third time trying. hopefully this one will post. As I was saying, this video was great. I also hoped that it would zoom in so that I could see exactly what it was asking, and if it was a more complex activity zoom would be appreciated if possible. However I really enjoyed it and I enjoyed the slight humor to lighten up the informative video. The joke made it more fun to watch. :)

  29. Sorry the last one post was grammatically incorrect. I stated the risks of using actual information(it is on youtube). Also you showed your security question and it's answer. If you didn't set up a backup email account then somebody could easily take over the email account and eradicate your influence over it. I'm tell you this because somebody did it to me when I had a weak security question as a prank. That why I create my own security question now.

  37. The video was very informative, elaborate, and thorough. It was rich in detail and it was rather simple to follow which made it easier for me to comprehend. Despite the fact that the video was very helpful in that it was visual and competent, a zoom into the wording and the instructions would be greatly appreciated. Overall, the tutorial provided me with a much clearer understanding of the igoogle account setup.
