Hi Zulia
I use this approach. It is important for students to use the technology correctly. Some of the things I do include:
1. informal e-mails
- friends and family
- with and without attachments
- correct e-mail ettiquette
2. formal e-mails
- school, teachers, work, businesses etc
- information, complaints, queries, bookings, interviews etc
- with and without attachments
- correct e-mail ettiquette
3. homework
- submit as an informal e-mail
- submit as a formal e-mail
You can do just about anything by e-mail. Correct e-mail ettiquette is so very important and it sometimes takes a while for students to learn the correct ways, especially for formal e-mails. I print their e-mails, correct them using a standard correction code list, give it to them and ask them to fix it and re-send it to me.
Your students are young and this won�t wholly apply but you can adapt it to suit you.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Jayho
