Lab #1

Summary


In this lab, you will do several things:

  • Explore and add content to MyUW

  • Change your UW NetID password

  • Set up your UW account to allow you to have a web site
    (in future labs you will be creating pages for your web site)
  • Send a free UW electronic postcard to a friend or family member

This is a first lab assignment for the course Fluency with Information Technology: FIT100 (aka CSE 100, INFO 100). This lab is especially important if you are new to the UW system and have not used the computer resources provided by the university before. Even if you have used computers at the UW in previous quarters, we suggest that you work through the tasks given here to make sure you are familiar with what is available. For the the rest of this course, we will assume that you have the skills covered in this assignment:
