2. Email  Email is short for electronic mail.  It allows you to quickly send a message to anyone else in the world as long as they have their own email address.

3. Good Practice  There are several things to remember when writing an email.  Always give the message a subject. This allows the recipient to quickly see what the email is about.  Never write all in upper case, this is not only poor English it also means that you are shouting and is very rude.

4. CC and BCC  Emails have options for CC and BCC.  CC is short for carbon copy and sends a copy of the message to another person or people.  BCC is short for blind carbon copy, this is same as carbon copy but anyone placed in BCC cannot be seen by the people in To or CC.

5. Attachments  If you have a file saved in your user space you can add this to an email.  This is called adding an attachment.  You can add more than one attachment as long as the file size isn’t too large.

6. Accessing your Email  You can access your email using:  The “Outlook Web Access” shortcut from your desktop.  The email section of the school website, this can be accessed from home as well.
