eMac

• An eMac user account is an account you can make on the Mac computer. You can just log in as your own account without having to go to the public user that students use, which is called students. The good thing about having the account is

that you can personalize it and add all the programs that you want on the dock, the bad thing is that you might forget your password. I think it really is better for you to have another

user for your own use is that if you just save it on the desktop, you don’t need to worry about it being deleted. It’s also much

easier for your convenience.

First Class

• The average first class account provides you with all the things you should need: IM, email, etc. And everything is very obvious. Meaning that everything has a button that is right in front of your face, it’s not far in the corner in tiny handwriting. I would recommend First

Class to you because, as I already said, it has everything. It is really easy to use and there are lots of options like: you can put events on

the calendar, putting word documents, and even keeping all the bookmarks in one folder for Firefox. Using a First Class account can keep you very organized. It’s like one big folder for everything you

need.

iGoogle

• iGoogle is a account where you personalize your homepage. You can add tabs like pets, News feeds, or just a homepage. You can add gadgets and there are a lot of games where you can get addicted to so you have to be careful! You can also put word documents in this account and access them easily. It is really fun to have a iGoogle account but it is really useful as well. You can put news feeds on one of your tabs to get daily news from where ever there is a rss sign. Mostly all news sites

should have that sign right next to the URL.

Blogger

• Blogger is an account where you have your own sit that you can literally edit. You can post notes on your website (FYI it has a rss feed so you can also put your blog on your iGoogle account)

about practically anything you want. Blogger is really cool because it’s something that you can control on Google. I have a blogger account and I think it is very cool since you can edit it and I really enjoy putting posts up cause I think about it this way: Now, everybody in the world can see what I wrote about

me and my locker!

Wiki

• Having a wiki is very much like having a blogger account. You can edit both, for one. Two? Well, they both can be found on

the internet. You can make your wiki profile page about anything at all. You can make links and upload photo’s just like blogger. It’s really fun to just explore what there is that you can do. I’m not even sure what else there is that can be done!

I’m sure you’ve heard of wikipedia, where you can’t really depend on what information they say, since it is edited by

persons unknown.
