Brian, we are using Google Apps exclusively at our two schools. I am the administrator and am loving it. We use Gaggle.net to archive the email of staff and admin. Recently I created accounts for our middle schoolers and am introducing that next…

We use Gaggle for all of our students 3rd through 12th grades. Gaggle is very safe and flags inappropriate language, phrases, etc. Check it out at www.gaggle.net

Fran, Do you want email to correspond with your kids? Or do you want to give them info for assignments, etc--? Decide what you need the 'email' for and maybe there is a work around. Moodle? Ning?
Fran Lo replied to Eric's discussion 'Email for Middle School Students' in the group Connecting Content and Technology
I have the same issue. About half of my 7th graders have email, 3/4 of 8th graders have email. But the school doesn't offer email and doesn't want to get into all the issues of monitoring school email. It's a conservative school with…

Do you have a link to your district's website so that we can see the wikis and blogs and email set-up. I want to integrate Google Apps for education into our school. Any thoughts on that?
Greg Garner replied to Eric's discussion 'Email for Middle School Students' in the group Connecting Content and Technology
I love this idea and would be thrilled to implement the same thing. For right now, it's not viable, especially in the age of AUP's and social networking security. The main limitations I see with gmail, gawab, hotmail, and others are that…

Kathy, It is easy to set up, I mainly wanted it to allow students to recieve authorization codes for different site logins--but I have recently cooled to all the gadgets and gizmos out there and stick to real authentic and high level projects…

Thanks, Nancy. I think I may have to pick a class to try it with. I'll need to talk to our IT guy to pull it off! Wish me luck!

Kathy, All my students have epals accounts but to tell you the truth we haven't used them enough this year to comment. I'll make a better effort next year.
Kathy Strathman replied to Eric's discussion 'Email for Middle School Students' in the group Connecting Content and Technology
Nancy - have you used epals personally? I looked at the website and it looks interesting. Would you (or anyone else) know if epals allows the teacher to block the actual email inbox and just use the address to register for websites? Or maybe will it…

We just signed up two classes of eighth graders in epals so they could join in a multicultural online project and they love it!

Eric
Have you checked out the gaggle.net site? I use it all the time in my classes. It has limited features, but great filter and teacher control. It is definitely web based, free, and at least allows students the opportunity to learn the proper…

I am in the same boat with my junior high students. Thanks for asking the questions, and thanks to all of you who gave responses! Now I have a few things to check out!
Diana Pendleton replied to Eric's discussion 'Email for Middle School Students' in the group Connecting Content and Technology
Eric - we too are looking more towards next year. We plan to start in the fall with full scale implementation of technology. This year a group of us are attending technology conferences to learn all we can, and are piloting student email, blogs,…

We did issue passwords to two English language arts classes and they seem to be handling it well. After spring break we will be getting online with epals through eight teachers who volunteered to use it with 7th and 8th graders. We are really trying…

Eric, I was commenting to Diana--should have mentioned her name.

The program is fully online and uses the course management system Moodle. There's only a couple web conferences throughout the program, during the evening, so it's really flexible. We are teaming up with Discovery Education for the program so it's been a fantastic experience to work with the program. Here's the website: www.wilkes.edu/instructionalmediastudents
