YOUR COMMENTS (2 miniessays): A. Reflect on the way we presented email one task at a time. What is the learning style we were encouraging you to use? As I recall from our class discussion, that is not your preferred style. What was your reaction? Did it become easier to learn that way as we did more things? Did the tasks become easier as we progressed and you learned how to use this learning style?

B. As you reflect on how we learned to use email, what are the implications you can see for a teacher who wants to do email activities? Is it better to jump in and do one task at a time which introduces a new aspect of how the system works or spend a day or two walking everyone through the system and then do activities? Why?

Happy emailing Tman
