Considering the latest changes prior to digital transformation, communication is much easier and must be as quick as possible. Thus, instead of writing letters and walking to the post office; most of us today prefer e-mails. They are both easy to use and free; however, some elder people still do not know how to do that, even some don't have enough knowledge about how to create an account. This activity is to help them to create a basic email account and teach them to send an email.

There are so many ways to build healthy communication. Within this activity, our adult learners are expected to gain essential skills for using emails as a means of communication. Considering that some of our learners are unable to attend face-to-face classes; they are expected to join us online which will make our sessions hybrid. The trainer will first teach how to create an email account from Google. Then, the trainees are expected to create their own accounts. Also, the remote participants will join these activities. Then the trainer will teach how to write and send emails etc. The real participants and remote ones will email each other.
We will use Google just because it is easy to find; any other emailing provider can also be used. The courses will be recorded with a screen recorder so that the participants can watch them later in case they need an extra chance to remember how to do it.
