1. Review all keys learned.
2. Learn the left shift key and the period (.).
3. Google Docs - this is a great place you can use to save all your passwords for the various different websites that you will register for.  This is not something that you have to do, but as I will show you it is a great way to store your passwords.  What I really like is that I can access this anywhere there is an Internet connection - including using a smartphone if you have one. (the below picture is a link - when you click on it it will open in a new window)

4. Here are several websites that you can use to create a password. These are convenient if you feel that trying to create something clever gets difficult - or if you're just tired of trying to think of a password!
Password BirdPass Plex Password Generator
5. We will create a "signature" for your gmail account today as well. If you remember, when we set up our email account I gave you several "golden rules" of emailing. One of those rules that you should follow is to always include your name at the bottom of the email. A signature allows you to do that without having to type in your name every time you send an email - very convenient!
6. If we have time we will also learn how to create contacts in Gmail.  My guess is some of you already know how to do this - especially those that already had an email account.  It's not difficult - you just need to learn how to do it.

REMINDER!!  Correct fingers assignment tomorrow - be prepared!
