computerdisc-l: student e-mail service

["Cassandra Shidler" <cshidler@hotmail.com>]

Last year, we used gaggle.net for student e-mail services in the classroom.  
The service is FREE to school, teachers, and students.  Students were able 
to check e-mail both at home and at school.  It works just like a hotmail 
account, but better for my purposes.  I liked being able to prevent "bad" 
and junk mail from getting to the students.  While the students did have 
privacy sending messages, gaggle.net had an "invisible" monitor that would 
prevent foul language and/or illicit from being sent to or received from 
students in any of our classes.  While I want the students to "experience" 
positives of the World Wide Web, we have to use a little judgment on how 
much and when at this age.  If interested in the service, the web-site is 
www.gaggle.net.  Feel free to contact me is I can help.
