Hi again just posting an email etiquette list we did in class.

Email Etiquette

Write a meaningful subject line. Helps receiver to find later Keep the message short and concise. Reader more likely to read it properly Avoid too many attachments. The email client might reject them and it looks messy Identify yourself clearly with a signature block. Be polite. You don’t know who will read this Proofread. You cannot get it back Be aware of privacy, i.e. there is none. Distinguish between formal and informal situations. Respond Promptly. Show Respect and Restraint. Sleep on things before you reply

Week 2 and I am still here.
Looked at Email etiquette today. It's amazing how the info can easily get out there. There really is no privacy in an email. Looked at goggle calendar and entered our class times and assessment due dates. very useful. These milestones make sure I am keeping up with my work and not getting behind the eight ball.The advantage of on-line calendar to hard copy is the fact that it is easy to change, can give you an alert, can be accessed from any where you can access a computer or mobile phone. Also if you change an event on one device it is available on the other.This greatly helps with time management as all your to do's come up chronologically in one place on your due date table.

Reflections on Lesson One

Class was good today. I learnt some new stuff including quick group send to. I found a new item circles. I am not sure what to make of those.

Also found out about signatures which I had used in other email clients. I sent a photo for the first time from my mobile via Gmail which seemed fairly easy.

I find Gmail to be fairly unintuitive program that seems to change a lot because it is online.

This first week of TAFE has been a little stressful considering all the assessments that are needed and the speed of my typing. It was good to get started on MYOB. This seems like it will be an interesting subject.

Spelling may also let me down as this has never been my forte.

The most interesting thing we did was to see the variety found when we all created menu’s for a restaurant.
