Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify the key parts of an e-mail account screen, including the Inbox, Compose button, and message list.
Log in to a personal e-mail account using a username and password.
Access and open messages in the Inbox to read their contents.
Create a new e-mail message by entering the recipient’s address, a subject line, and a message body.
Send a created e-mail message and confirm that it was sent successfully.

This lesson focuses on creating and accessing e-mail messages. It builds on earlier lessons where learners discussed the purpose of e-mail and opened e-mail accounts. It stops before replying to or forwarding messages, deleting messages, and attaching files, which come in later weeks.
