Screen Toaster

For my tutorial project, I chose to use the screen toaster website to teach the class how to do something new with their Firefox browser. I chose to show how to change your email options on your default browser. For example, say you are on a website and there is an email listed there to contact that person, or a given company. If you were to click on the email it would most likely bring up your Microsoft outlook program. This is frustrating to me because I do not use Microsoft Outlook. I found away to change that setting on your browser to link it to you personal email. The first thing you do is go to your tool menu, scroll down to options and click on the applications button. Then scroll down to the mailto, click on it and choose between email providers. There are select email providers listed, but if you have either yahoo! or gmail, this process will work for you. I have linked my [|Screen Toaster] here. __**Integration of Screen Toaster:**__ Screen toaster could be used for many different activities in the classroom. Screen toaster can make it easier for your student to show you a problem they are having or their progress on one of their projects. On the other hand, teachers can use screen toaster to demonstrate how to go about completing a certain assignment. It would allow teachers to provide students with requirements and guidelines to a certain assignment without having to print and waste paper.
