Send an Email to the Class

Instructions:

Listbot is a "distibutor of email". It allows Prof. J to send one email to a "class list" (i.e. "listbot") to inform the class of new information, updated work and grades.

To join the listbot, type in your email address above (remember your email consists of two parts name@your email provider, so include both below (an example is Prof. J. email address = abogado@pacbell.net, or johnjones@hotmail.com, or janesmith@yahoo.com (Note if you do not have an email address you mail get one at yahoo or hotmail (here are instructions on how to get an email account).

Once you type in your email address, it will ask you for your first and last name.That is all the information you need to give. It will ask for a "password". I suggest you use the same password you have for your email account, then you will not have to learn or forget another "password".

Then click on join. You must then go back to your email account, and check your new messages. You will have received an email message from the class lisbot which says "verification required". You are almost complete. Then just click on "reply all" or "reply" and then click on "send", and you are done. The reason you send the "verifier code" back to the listbot, and why verification is required is to prevent someone else joining you to up many lists so you get an enormous amount of "junk" emails as harassment, and the above process ensures that "you alone" are voluntarily joining, and no one else for you.

You must join each listbot in each different class you take with Prof. J. It is a separate service for each class. So if you have joined in another class, you still will have to join separately in this class.

There are two additional functions of the listbot. You can click on "archive of messages", and it will show you all of the messages sent to the class. You may also decide to start up a "class discussion" using email, and you then just click on "email to class", and start your email discussion. Remember, if you just want to send Prof. J. and email, DO NOT use the listbot since your questions, or comments then go out to the entire list, instead just email Prof. J. personally at his email address of abogado@pacbell.net.
