E-mail Activities in the Graceland Community

Here are examples of my service to the Graceland community (not detailed in my Professional Activities Report). These are examples in which I get involved with students, staff, and other faculty, often to alert and educate them about about their use of the technology using e-mail.

1. I reply to those who send e-mail containing long lists of recipient addresses in the header to tell them how to use BCC to suppress the list and thereby be a more effective communicator.
   
   
2. I have sent e-mail out to instruct others on how to send, attach, and receive information using more universally accessible files and formats to insure cross-platform communication.
   
   
3. I have sent numerous e-mail suggestions to those with web pages that don't look right, with detailed repair instructions.
   
   
4. I have reported strange happenings on the network to the system administrator (including one hacker activity and the information I was able to learn through my detective work).
   
   
5. I have helped students install software and device drivers for their equipment, and answered their questions about how to fix them.
   
   
6. I contacted numerous users of Macintoshes connected to the network if their computer was open for easy attack by others and I detailed for them how to fix the situation. This I would discover with my own proactive checks.
