October 31, 2011: Homework Google Account - if you need help come during lunch of afterschool!
TASK ONE
To make a Google Account go to www.gmail.com and click "Create an account" in the top right corner. Fill out the form as follows:
First name: Your first name
Last name: The first initial of your last name
Desired login name: Your first name first initial of your last name lions. For example if my name was John Smith, I would use JohnSLions
Password: something that you will remember!
Security question: choose something that you will remember!
Recovery email: lionslanguagearts@gmail.com
Location: United States
Birthday: Enter January 1, 1990 (I know this isn't what your birthday is.)
Word verification: Type in whatever is in the box
Click the "I accept. Create my account." to accept the terms of service and make your account. YAY!
As we found out in class, you may have to do this from home because sometimes it asks you for a phone number to get your account verification number from.
Now you have a Google Account. It is very important that you write down this information on your handout because this is how you will be able to get to our class information.
TASK THREE
Now let's go back to the blog and learn how to submit comments from our Google Account. When you are already logged in to your Google Account you don't have to post things anonymously anymore. Now go down to the bottom of this post and click where it says "# comments." This will bring you to another page that has a blank comment box at the bottom. In the comment box write a minimum of two sentence response to the following questions: (Remember to use complete sentences!)
What was your favorite activity that you ever did in a Language Arts class in your past?
What is your favorite book that you ever read?
To post, choose using Google Account instead of Anonymous, you should already be signed in to your Google Account. If you are asked to make a Blogger account, just make everything the same as when you made your Google Account.
