In term 1, we had Mr.Hennessy for computers. We learned about emails and google suites, we had to make a document about it. I already knew a lot about emails as I've always had personal and school emails so i was very familiar with the format. We also covered how to right an email and its structure last year in English, so there wasn't much new things to learn.
We also learned how to merge an email which i never knew you could do. These are directions on how you complete a mail merge.
Open an existing Word document, or create a new one.
Click the Mailings tab.
Click the Start Mail Merge command.
Select Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard.
