What Can You Do With Email? • Delete It • Move or Save It • Print It • Forward It • Reply to It
It is more important than ever that today’s business students learn the concepts and appropriate applications of email systems rather than only the keystrokes
Advantages of Email • Information can be distributed faster to many people • People can respond faster • Saves Time and Money • Time zones—No Problem • Eliminates telephone tag • Can read at one’s own convenience • Messages composed and delivered any time regardless of holidays or weekends.
Disadvantages of Email • Email is not private • Permanent record of email message is stored by ISP—even deleted messages • Email can be placed under subpoena • Once sent, it cannot be retracted (there are exceptions) • You lose control. Any email can be forwarded easily by the recipient to anyone the recipient chooses
Guidelines for Email • One subject per message: ALWAYS USE SUBJECT LINE • What would your reaction be to the message? • Message needs to be correct, concise, and clear • Maintain goodwill of recipient • Use paragraphs • When replying only include enough of the original message to make sense. • Remember common courtesies like “Please” and “Thank you”
Signature • Use signature on your messages • Usernames can be anonymous • Your personal business card ***************************************** Susan Heath Layton High Business Department Sheath@dsdmail.net Every obstacle introduces a person to himself ******************************************
