We have an email address for each student in grades 9-12 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), but they don't use it. The client is Novell GroupWise, since we have Novell servers. Some teachers use it, though. We do allow students to use hotmail, yahoomail, etc. It is very hard to block all of the possible email providers. We rely on supervision and what comes out of the printers regarding appropriate use. I have blocked msn messenger, yahoo messenger, and aol messenger though. They do a fine job of bringing an older, slower computer to its knees.
PS - I taught with Sam Tvrdik at LuVerne HS 1974-1980. Brian Ney, Tech Coordinator/HS Principal North Kossuth CSD Swea City, IA >>> "Vicki Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/09/03 02:05PM >>> Our school district is trying to decide which way is the best way to go as far as email for students. I have heard that some schools have no email at all for the students. How does this work. We have talked about email for 8-12 graders, and no hotmail,etc. My high school students would rather have hotmail, etc instead of the school email. Give me some input as to what your school district does.
