1. Type gmail.com into your browser (the address bar) at the top of the webpage and Click ‘Create Account’.
2. Fill in your details carefully. • Your username is also what your gmail.com email will be. Matt’s username is mattdigitalfamilies so his email will be mattdigitalfamilies@gmail.com • Create a password, that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, punctuation and numbers or create a phrase. E.g. three of your favourite things (dogsflowerspizza) • Assuming that you don’t currently have another email address, just leave that line blank
