Learning to Email

My students are using FirstClass (same email software the teachers use) to learn how to email. Something most of us take for granted, email, is something my students will find necessary to use in today's world.
They are emailing a college friend of mine and former teacher, Lauren, who is currently a kinda-stay-at-home-mom-that-is-out-and-about-with-her-kids-at-school-and-everywhere-else, who has offered to be our email pen pal.
