Patti, We have used Gaggle since 2nd semester of the 99-00 school year, before you could purchase ad-less accounts. We still use it, but we never purchased the ad-less version. We use the free version. Yes, there are ad banners, but it's not that big of a deal. We just tell the students not to click on any advertisements (if it was a problem, we wouldn't let them check e-mail). The main thing is that we have a filtered e-mail service that blocks unsolicited pornographic vendors or other undesirable e-mails, and I can create all the 8th grade accounts in one big import, rather that one at a time. I do not wish to use Hotmail or Yahoo with my kids. Cassandra Stevens Oxford Middle School cas@olemiss.edu Patti Abraham wrote: > Some of you had expressed an interest in Gaggle.net.
