Establishing a gmail.com account for submitting papers and projects in world geography class

** Please establish a gmail.com account that is identified by your first and last name. Using periods between names is a good way to make your address unique.
ex: sarah.j.williams@gmail.com.

By that standard, my account is not done correctly. Instead of trudeau11@gmail.com I should have asked for robert.trudeau@gmail.com. But for the moment I'm staying with trudeau11@gmail.com.

This is the account that will allow you to submit papers to your teacher via GoogleDocs. Your collection of papers and projects at GoogleDocs will become, in effect, your digital portfolio.

- Your first GoogleDoc for this class will be labeled "Background" (but do Not use the quotation marks that I used).
. Please list parents’ or guardians’ names, address and cell phone numbers for both parents/guardians.
. Also list schools attended and the schools' locations.
. You may list honors won in school and outside of school.
. Please add your hobbies.
. Also: books read this summer.
. It's helpful to me if you will also add your parents' occupations and work locations.
